Will sex drive return when off antidepressants?

Posted , 3 users are following.

I lost my sex drive when I was on antidepressants. I've almost weaned myself off of Sertraline and wondered if anyone has come off of antidepressant successfully and regained their sex drive?

thanks

    Hi this is the reason I have come off them to be honest! I'm already reaping the benefits especially in the bedroom! Don't panic it will return smile

    That's so good to hear that libido does come back. I'm on my last week of one on (50mg) one day off. Still no libido. My poor husband is so understanding and patient despite have a high sexdrive.

    Sounds a bit innainappropriate but I'll keep you posted on any changes.
