It's normal. If you have to be on antidepressants, there are many new medications that have a low incidence of sexual side effects. If you are weaning off of them for good, give your body time to adjust to being off the medication.
For any other questions, talk to your MD.

Saint John's wort works for some people. you can also try getting your Rx changed to Wellburtin. It's known for not having sexual side effects as much as the others. I truly sympathize with you because, god I have been there.

its normal ....... um somethings to try perhaps are to think sexy wear sexy lingerie even if its just for urself ....... maybe pic up some erotic literature ( or romance novels some are very randy !!) it may take a littlewhile longer b/c of the med in ur system but it will come back and if it doesnt see your doctor he may give u pills to help stimulate ur libido
good luck

Yes it's normal. Any medication you quit taking can take several months to clear out of your system. Ask your doctor, s/he can help.

I had the same issue... Working out, even if it was just for 30 minutes per day really helped. It gave me more energy, boosted my self confience, and really helped me to feel sexual again.
