And if you're withdrawing from them because your mood is more "stable", there might be a natural increase in your normal libido levels.

I am on Zoloft. though I have had a high sex drive while on it, just a hard time having an orgasm with a guy. When I first started taking it I noticed right away the numbness. It did go away after awhile and got better but I am not sure if that is because the drug stops working after a while ( which is why doctors always up the dose!) If you only take it a few months you will notice the sexual numbness! If you take it for years it does get better, but now going off of it I am realizing what I was missing!! I actually think one of the reasons I went on it (never told anyone) was to control my high sex drive. i went on once for anxiety, another time for depression and anger control. But when I look back I was on it more just to be able to deal with the horrible and negative, depressing people I am surrounded with on a daily basis!
