Q: Depression And Sex Drive

I used to have a very healthy sexual appetite, but than I was put on antidepressents for my depression. While I was on the meds I completely lost interest in sex and even after not being on the meds for over a year it hasnt come back.

In my head I want to have sex, but my body doesnt tell me that I want it or if it does it slight and far between. Is there anything I can do to up my sex drive again? Is it related to perhaps depression coming back?
