It depends,
I have been on antidepressants for a long time, and once I was taking 1000+mg of vitamin C along with a multi-vitamin. My doctor had now trouble with that until I got what sure seemed like a Kidney Stone. Taking large does of Vitamin C, calcium, and salt is a sure fire way to get kidney stones, and yes women can get them to.
Your doctor or your pharmacist should be able to tell you what the safe ranges are depending on your anti-depressant.
You should do an on-line search for your medication to see what all the side effects can be.

if the multi is a pill, you are likely wasting your money, most of them go straight thru you without dissolving, vitamin C won't impact your sex drive one way or the other. An antidepressant can have the side effect of either increasing or decreasing the libido, depending on which one it is, the person to ask would be your pharmacist or doctor.

true, if you take it in the pill form, most of them will not be absorbed by your body at all. and don't take vitamins if you don't know what to take, it might have have side effects on you. if you can consult your doctor do it, don't guess. Or take a free nutri-physical test here or get a gene-snap if you're very serious about your health, www.isonutrix.com it also helps, you will have to register though.

Most antidepressants will affect your sex drive, or the ability to have orgasms. It is, unfortunately, a common side effect.
Vitamin and mineral supplements will not affect your antidepressant medications, or vice versa.
Look up your particular drug online at wikipedia or google to read about the specific side effects on your sex life.

NEVER ask a layman about drugs and vitamins. Always ask your pharmacist.
