Speaking as someone who's been treated for depression
I can tell the LR, as I'm sure she knows, antidepressants can kill your libido.
At the time I started taking Zoloft, I was also taking chromium piccolinate to control my sweet tooth and to help maintain lean muscle tissue.
Chromium has the side effect (at least with men) of increasing their sexual performance and stamina.
When my therapist expressed surprise that I didn't have any sexual side effects from the Zoloft, I told him about chromium.
He started recommending it to several of his patients who were having sexual dysfunction from their meds. A few weeks later, he told me, "You might have helped me to save some marriages."
The LR might want to recommend it to her husband.
