I hear this is a common problem with anti-depressants. Try switching meds. Tell your doctor and your partner. Also, spend more time getting in the mood either with yourself or your partner. A little foreplay goes a long way.

Several answers on here are telling you to stop taking your meds, talk to your Dr. first. Don't try to quit cold turkey trust me it's not fun. You may want to try another type of anti depressant. I'm on Welbutrin and it doesn't affect my sex drive at all. Keep in mind that not every drug works for everyone but I just wanted to give you some food for thought.

The anti depressant I take is Wellbutrin. It actually increases my sex drive. And it makes my orgasms last 2 minutes, sometime longer. Ask your doctor if it could do the same thing for you as it does for a man.

Yeah, I so understand. I had the same thing happen when I was taking elavil. You will have to get swithched to something else. It doesn't go away. It was such a bummer for me because I felt better and had less headaches, but I would get in the mood but could not get OG. Real Bummer

Yes. Antidepressants will put you in a mild trance. They suppress your sexual desires in the brain. Try to get back to what used to turn you on. Focus on your sexual fantasies, bring them back into your life and try more communication during sex and role play with your partner. This may help bring you back to wanting the great sexual release your mind is really yearning for. Goodluck:)

Give it a little more time on the drugs...
obviously yo were depressed.....hence the pills..
once the anti depressents start working you wil start feeling good about yourself.
Go get a hairstyle. a sexy outfit....trust me when you feel good about yourself...a woman always feels sexier... might help the mood within yourself...

Do something consciously that you know will put you in the mood. Read or write erotic stories, set up an atmosphere for it (candles, music, lingerie, etc,) take a hot bath, etc.
Worked for my wife and I.
