Considering antidepressants - libido?

I’m on tamoxifen and it’s been a battle getting thyroid levels right since I started. I think as I’m late perimenopause and my own hormones have been up and down plus i definitely needed more when I started.

Ive had to raise thyroxine again at the same time as a significantly stressful periods at work - anxiety is higher as I’m running out of steam and the brain fog hits.

im not sure if beta blockers (10x 3 a day) are actually helping or not or if im not using them enough at the right time.

this could all calm down so im hesitant to start anti ds. I get occasional sweats but they also calm down.

my biggest worry is libido. That’s hanging on by a thread.

anyone find libido gets trashed? I’m sure it went when I tried them 20 odd years ago but it’s hard to know as I was very hypothyroid at the time.

I’m also otherwise very happy. It’s the physical effects of anxiety. I don’t want to dampen my feelings down
