I, too, have been where you are. For me, though, the added stress and pressure of the diminished sex drive counteracted whatever good the original antidepressants were doing me. Honestly, for me, what was the point of having good head space if I had to sacrifice a vital part of myself? So I went back to my doctor and asked if there weren't alternative pills that would work just as well while not taking that away from me. Through trial and error we found some that worked better with my body chemistry and allowed me to function at my normal sexual peak.
Will add, though, that my ex wasn't exactly understanding about the whole thing. At that point, he was ready to start a family and my having to take the antidepressants didn't allow him the instant gratification that he felt he deserved so a decreased sex drive was pretty much beyond his capabilities to understand or deal with. In thinking about it, though, I tend to think I'd have handled the situation the same way because I honestly didn't like not feeling like myself in that respect any more than I liked the feeling of the depression.
