Antidepressants negative effects on sex life?

[LunarMoon92]

No idea if this is in the right section. It's mental health, relationships and TTC so sorry in advance if it's posted to the wrong area.
I've been on antidepressants since age 17. I'm almost 29 now. I've tried with the doctors support to come off them many times but can't.
I always thought "I'm just someone that ebbs and flows with sex drive and then for some reason I realised the other day that I started taking antidepressants before I was sexually active so might not know what my sex drive would be without meds".
Anyways TTC 16 months now and I've really noticed how shit my sex drive is and physical things that could be cause by anti depressants. I honestly don't know what to do. I'm on Sertraline at the moment. Any advice would be gratefully received. I need to improve my sex drive. Its making me and my partner feel so down. TIA

Sertraline killed my sex drive initially though it did come back after i settled on it. What dose are you on? I'm only on 50mg currently, on week 8.

Yup thats very common and why I chucked them in after 9 months. Doctors don't seem to consider it relevant, my doctor dismissed it out of hand :/

150mg at the moment.
I've been on fluxotine and citalopram aswell.
I didnt have a sex life until after I had been on antidepressants for a few years so no idea what a normal sex drive would of been for me.

I cant stop taking medication for my mental health unfortunately. All the best xx
