Similar experience. Apparently pretty much ubiquitous with SSRIs

i'm sorry this happened to you, this was of the reasons i held off trying them for so long. ubiquitous indeed, also on this front I got lucky...

please people, take my post for what it is: anecdotal evidence. SSRIs can basically give you any possible side effect, including destroying your libido.

Stupid question: Did it really kill your libido or just reduced/removed the hyper-sexuality which could very well be a coping mechanism for past trauma?

I don't relate at all to the latter part of your question, so be process of elimination it must be the former :)
