Holy moly. I can relate to this a little too well. I also went on antidepressants in early 2020 (sertraline, an SSRI) and even on a relatively low dose, my libido tanked. Sex was barely a thought on my mind for most of last year, even though I felt great overall.

I don't know if you had this experience, too, but not only do I want sex less, I've found it harder to physically have orgasms. My body actually experiences sensations in a different way that isn't as pleasurable. None of this improved until I cut my medication dose in half (per my doctor's suggestion).

At any rate, I haven't tried other ways of boosting my libido, but I'm curious to look into the treatments you mentioned. Thanks for this post!
