Higher sex drive on antidepressant?!

Wasn't sure whether to post this here or in mental health.

I started a new antidepressant a few months ago and my sex drive has been through the roof since. I never felt like this on my old meds or when my mental health was good off meds.

Can anyone relate? People usually talk about antidepressants killing their sex drive so this seem really weird.

It's not common, but some antidepressants, like Wellbutrin, can increase sex drive as a side effect. Everyone's body reacts differently, so it’s not necessarily weird. If it's a concern, definitely talk to your doctor first.
