Pharmacist here: The antidepressants most associated with reduced libido are the SSRIs (fluoxetine, sertraline, citalopram, etc) and the SNRIs (venlafaxine, duloxetine). However, there are options that aren’t associated with this symptom such as: bupropion, and mirtazipine.
Ask your psychiatrist (or PCP) if there’s an option available for your circumstances. Imho not enough people give enough feedback to their physicians about their medication regimines. Finding the meds best suited for you is often best framed as a conversation instead of a demand.
Soon enough (-ish) we’ll have genome-specific personalized medicine so this sort of inconvenience will all be largely a thing of the past.
