Can Antidepressants, Enrich Ones Sexual Arousal?

Hi! I am a 21 year old woman. I was prescribed antidepressants and after a few days of taking them I noticed an great increase in sexual arousal. I was really uncomfortable so I gradually stopped the antidepressants and the feelings of sexual arousal stopped after about 2 weeks. I was examined by another doctor who concluded that because I wasn't depressed the antipressant caused me an increase in sexual arousal. Can this be possible?
