Hi Terri

 

It is true...a lot of the antidepressants out there can do a number on your sex drive.  One of the drastic ways to change this unfortunately is to switch antidepressants.  But there are other methods one can take and especially if your medication is working for you otherwise.

 

I wrote a big long article about this very topic with lots of suggestions given of what you can do.  Please read my article about libido and antidepressants here.

 

Your best bet is to discuss this issue with your doctor and see what he or she recommends. 

 

Thank you for your question!
