The change in sex drive is a possible side effect. It's not written in stone. Anti-depressents never changed mine.

Did the anti-depressant make you feel manic? If so you might have a bi-polar disorder.

I've been on my meds for 10yrs. You have to find what works for you. All meds are not the same. Some have worked fine and others were the worst thing I've ever taken. You have to find what is right for you, but you have to look at the signs. Do you push people you love away? Have you lost interst in things or people you used to love? Do you get angry easily? Are you tired all of the time? Have you started drinking more and more alcohol to feel better? All of these things are what I went through. If it sounds like you, sorry bro, if not than good. Everyone is different. Find what works for you. Be happy!

Stay away from the prescription drugs. Maybe you should smoke some bud. It helps alot of people with depression.

anti-depressant is not always good in our health. Maybe exercise can help you more on your problem
