After coming off an SSRI for good...do you get your old sex drive, etc back?

I cant seem to find enough information about the success of SSRI users.

I'd like to be able to see how many people come off of the drug effectively and get their sex drive and everything back.  Do these things like permanently slow your metabolism?

I was on Prozac for about 4 years, and had no sex drive.
After I stopped taking it, in about  a month I noticed the interest gradually returned.
For me the Prozac, took away not only the ability to perform, but the interest was not there at all.
I was really concerned, but it is back. I run, meditate, go to acupuncure and take a herbal remedy called "jin gui shen qu wan" by Plum Flowers, which I think is helping too. Of course, I am 60 years old, so part of that may be that my give a damn is busted.

I have bad news.

And I have good news.

The bad news: NO, you do NOT get your old sex drive back.

The good news....scroll for it...















You get a brand NEW sex drive, instead! I suggest you prepare yourself with vitamins, heavy-duty work out sessions, oils and essential ointments and emollients. You're going to need them. And so will she. Or he. Whatever.
