Do antipsychotics like seroquel (quetiapine) and antidepressants dampen sex drive? will going off the meds remedy this? so far hasn't returned on or odd meds.

Yes: some antidepressants especially the SSRI. other factors such as stress, depression, poor diet and lack of exercise also affect your sex drive

Thank
Many: Of the antipsychotics meds cause a decrease in the sex drive. It may take several days if not longer for the effects of the meds to get out of your system. Talk to your doctor about your concerns before you stop or change meds
