There's a very old fashioned anti-histamine, called cyproheptidine or Periactin, that blocks the anorgasmia from SSRIs -- and quite well for me, at least. The best part is that it knocks you out after a certain amount of time, too, so there's no depressive insomnia, and it's worn off by the next morning, so you're anti-depressed again next day. Takes about 20 - 30 minutes to work, but it was great for me: orgasms again! Yippee!
The sex drive, though, is a different story. Can't help you there, or I'd be able to help me. My husband is absolutely uninterested, and I'm too depressed to care right now, but suspect that if he showed any interest in me, I might not be so depressed. Vicious circle, huh? There's another name for it, something like "ouruborous"? Just a trivial tidbit to make this a Social Post...
