I feel you. I was on escitalopram in my twenties too for a depressive episode. It wrecked my libido and 10 years down the line there is hardly any sign of improvement in sight.

I have a very understanding spouse, luckily, but I'm honestly devastated in not being able to accommodate this dimension of our relationship anymore.

Recently, my GP offered to prescribe me antidepressants again for an episode of burnout, but I'm absolutely not keen to go down that road again. I get that it's cheaper and more available than therapy, but I've been burned before.
