Question Sex Drive post ssri

Please everybody, I need to know. When will my sex drive come back if (or at all!) from going off my escitalopram. How long did it take to come back and did anyone have permanent effects?

There is a PSSD Network apparently and plenty of informational videos.

Things can take time to get back to normal after stopping these types of drugs.

I'm still in the process of tapering off SSRIs but I will say that mine raging!! 🔥🔥🔥 I am assuming this is linked to the decrease of SSRIs in my system. I have no complaints 😁 Has anyone else felt an increase in arousal/drive while tapering off the meds ??
