What mdication can help with sex drive while using antidepressants?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibilities: Sometimes we use wellbutrin (bupropion) off-label to help revive sex drive in patients on ssri's. There's also been a little data on the use of gingko, but maybe not quite as successfully. Sometimes the antidepressant itself can be changed to one less likely to interfere with libido (wellbutrin (bupropion)). I suggest talking with your psychiatrist about your concerns, so s/he can work with you on this.
