Complex issue: Most antidepressants can cause a decreased libido in women. Brintillex is known to have less effects on libido than others. Depression itself can also have a profound effect on libido. Treatment should be tailored to the individual. A one on one discussion between you and your doctor ( or a psychiatrist or primary care doctor on Healthtap ) would be the next step in evaluation
