Sexual Dysfunction- off all psyche meds for years!

Hi.  I was wondering if anyone else experienced sexual dysfunction that did not go away years after taking a certain psyche med.  For me it was Paxil and Zyprexa.  
I also want to know if it could be caused by a hormonal imbalance.
I am a 28 year old female and have not had any libido or sexual pleasure since I was 17.  I have low mood, lethargy and apathy.  Sometimes I think that my mood problems might be a result of not having any libido or vice versa.  I tried taking Wellbutrin one year and that didn't do a thing.
I am seeing an endocrinologist after Christmas.

Oh, and I meant to suggest you have your thyroid checked and also blood sugar.  Hope it gets straightened out by the endocrinologist.

Mine came right back after I stopped all the meds.  Now I'm taking Remeron, and the drive seems less urgent, but it still works, thankfully.  Remeron and Wellbutrin are supposed to have the fewest sexual side effects, but Remeron increases appetite ... a lot.  That's fine for me, but not fine for most people.
