Just one caveat -- if you're depressed, that can also cause a depressed sexual desire.  In other words, the issues that drive us to medication can also mess with our sexual desire, so that's also something to consider for therapy if this isn't going away.

Unfortunately SSRIs can have sexual side effects but I agree with remar that they will go away once you are off of the medication.  Also, in my opinion, if you are still suffering from anxiety, stress, depression, etc, it can definitely complicate things as well.

This side effect should go away pretty soon. Sometimes it takes a couple of weeks after your completely off the med so try to be patient. Take care. Remar
