Does it ever come back after the initial side effects start to wear off? Or do you just need to wait until you're off the drugs?

Does this only affect girls or something?
I haven't noticed a change in mine. Been 10mg for over a month
I dunno, from what I've heard and read SSRIs generally affect the sex drive for everyone, but then so can depression/lack of sleep/ various connected factors. Not like it's my priority right now but everyone wants a normal life. Glad to hear your libido is OK at least!
What dosage are you taking?
Edit also I have started doing more exercise. I have read that it can help increase libido while on SSRIs, so it could be that.

My Sex Drive is fecked.
I used to have a very high sex drive and now it's hardly even there.
Takes me to get turned-on now.
My Girlfriend's been great, but I'm getting fed-up of not being able to `be myself'.

Mines not been affected, I'm on 40mg.
Now sex drive and sex life's a different story lol.
It affects both Male / Female and to be honest I think it is more to do with your Mental State as opposed to the Meds ....
It affected me on 10 & 20 in the beginning, but then who's interested in Sex when you think you are dieing ....
The Most Important Sex Organ in the Body is the Brain, if your Brain is not right then it's bound to affect your Sex Drive ...
Everyone blames the Meds for Sex Drive Issues / Suicide / etc ...
Re: Suicide - your Mind is already in a Very Suggestible State and you happen to be on Meds ... Therefore the Rate of Suicide when on SSRI's is going to be Higher because these are the People that need them ... They have to put the Warnings on there for Legal Reasons ...
When people like us read the Warnings we Automatically think we're going to get them ALL ..... Half the Battle would be to remove the Warnings ...
