A member asked:
Can the loss of libido be attributed to anti-depressants?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Loss of libido is a common adverse effect of the ssri antidepressants. Evreyone is different so it is worth trying different ssris until you find one that provides the benefit without that side effect. Bupropion does not cause loss of libido and is often added to an ssri to restore libido. Mirtazepine is an antidepressant that effectively reverses libido loss when added to an ssri.
