Say you take an SSRI
Your sex drive goes away after about 2 weeks on it
Does this side effect ever go away while continuing the AD?
And your libido come roaring back!?

Or at least does it ever come back a little bit?

It's very individual;
For some the side effects disappear over time. If you're unlucky the libido/ED doesn't come back to normal until you go off the med. Some people are unaffected by certain SSRIs but get ED with others.
Conclusion: you won't know until you try it yourself, it could go either way.

My sex drive on SSRI's was fine, it just took me a lot longer to orgasm.
It was the depression it self that killed my sex drive, and once the nortriptyline and sertaline had that under control, my sex drive started to come back
