Has anyone else had lasting unwanted side affects?

I was on a few different antidepressants over a few years and the last type I was on seemed to completely take away any libido, this was the same for almost a year after stopping (and was the reason I stopped taking those) and took a further year or two to come back to normal. Has anyone else had any effects like this that carried on after stopping the drug itself?

I've been on many anti-depressants, I've experienced that, but only while I was on it. As far as your libido, if you're a woman, you may want to consider your age and whether or not you may be going through menapause. If you still need to be on an anti-depressant, you may want to consider wellbutrin, I've been on it for quite a few years and decreased libido is one of the side effects IT DOES NOT HAVE.

i haven't-but my mother was prescribed walbutin (sp?) and now has permanent seizure risk.they said she signed a consent form,but i do not believe it. even if she had,they had no business having someone sign something when they didn't have the mental comprehension to understand it.
