Posted on Fri, 7 Apr 2017
Question: I am 59 and female. I have been on 50 mg of Amitriptyline for several years for depression. It has ruined my libido. Can you give me the names of a few antidepressants that don't have an effect on sex drive, so I can look into them, then talk to my doctor about them?
