Which SSRI besides Prozac is least likely to cause loss of libido?

When I was on a low dose of Prozac, my libido went from normal to absolute zero. I had no interest in women or sex at all and the bad part of it was that I am married.

If I had to put a number on it, I'd say it decreased my libido by 95%. That's not a bad thing if it is temporary, but considering having to be on these drugs for six months to a year or more and having no sex drive.. it can be devastating to your spouse.

Some say Lexapro has less sexual side effects. Others say Zoloft.

Some take a combination of Requip (ropinirole) with an SSRI to get their libido back.

For some people though the loss of sex drive appears to be permanent (Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction, PSSD). :-(
