Alternative to SSRI's?

[Pinkandpurplehairedlady]

I'm been on a 150mg of Sertraline since October and the loss of libido / sexual feeling is really beginning to get to me. At my last review my GP basically said it was up to me if I wanted to change medication and asked me what I would like instead.

The issue is that I don't know what alternatives there are. Does anyone here take an anti-depressant that doesn't affect libido?

Amitriptyline doesn't for me but you'll have a job getting it prescribed in a high enough dose to help with depression or anxiety. It's not commonly prescribed anymore and comes with it's own side effects such as dizziness, dry mouth and constipation. If you have a psychiatrist then they could do it. It works though.
