hi,, melinda,,, i can understand your concerns...the loss of libido and delayed ejaculation are the common side effects of long term antidepressant medications particularly SSRI antidepressant..

i will suggest u to take tablet wellbutrin xl [150 mg] in the morning regularly, it will counter the side effects caused by the SSRIs.. u shud increase the dose to 300 mg after 10 days...and gradually u ll get back to your normal sexual life..

other medications which can be used to counter the side effects of SSRIs are: cyproheptadine [periactin], pramipexole [mirapex]

i hope this advice will be helpful to you..best luck..
