What drugs can be prescribed
Answer: Hi Esther 

Surviving sexual assault can change a persons body and mind in ways that isnt even clear It is possible that sex or the thought of it lead to feelings of sadness flashbacks or distressful and negative physical or mental reactions in survivors It is also possible that none of these happen too 

Although I have very limited information I think what you are experiencing in your sexual life now is a reaction to the trauma that occurred 

My advice is that you get in touch with a therapist who will help you navigate these negative reactions and also help you find healthy ways of coping and dealing with them 

Cheers and all the best
