So i just stopped taking them and i think that my sex drive has come back but i think that i still need to be on them anyone else have that problem

It's not uncommon. Many mood altering medications have some adverse effects like that.

See if you can try a different prescription, sometimes it takes a few trys to find one that works for you.

antidepressants can totally zap your sex drive. you should talk to your doctor. you might need to try a different pill or dose. but you should never just stop taking them

The best answer for this one is to stay on them, and try to remain as sexually active as you are when you're not on them. Even if you don't exactly feel like having sex with your partner when they want it, going along with it may get you into the mood pretty quickly.

Talk to your psychiatrist! I've experienced the same problem, and talked to my doctor about it. He or she can adjust your dosage or try a different medication. You should never, ever discontinue a prescription medication without telling your doctor.

I take lexapro and had that problem so I started Welbutrin with it and now I'm fine.

I'm having the exact same problem. I stopped taking Zoloft after four months of use because I had no sex drive at all. My libido was shot and when it came to it, I couldn't even get an erection. When I finally did, there was no way I could EVER ejaculate. It's been three weeks since I've stopped taking the antidepressant and everything is up and functioning again. I'm going to see my doctor Friday morning to try a new drug because I've turned into a complete arsehole once again and none of my family can stand being around me.

it happened to me, talk to your doctor, its kinda dangerous to stop taking an antidepressant without a doctors permission. usually if you watch adult entertainment, or read erotica, it will get you into that frame of mind
