I am aware that decresed sexual desire is a common side effect of medications such as anti-depressants. Can anyone share this experience? I am curious if you have been able to increase sexual desire at all without discontinuing your medication. Does anyone have any suggestions in this department? Thanks.

Airway ! I had some success with SSRI's for depression but had to stop them because of this side effect. They switched me off instantly ! Physically and mentally. To me that is not a 'healthy state of mind'. I only had this problem with SSRI's no other a/d's and it stopped as soon as I stopped taking them.
I do not know of any meds which would counteract this, some people have mentioned Wellbutrin, of course there are things like Viagra. It depends where in the world you are as to what your doctor will prescribe ! I'm in the UK. If anyone can help i'm interested too !
Incidentally, Airway, has your appetite (for food) increased or decreased ?
