A member asked:

Eating so much more than usual, loss of sex drive, should i change my antidepresant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: I would encourage you to talk to the prescribing physician. Why these can be side effects of antidepressant medications, there could also be other things going on medically resulting in these symptoms.
