Vanishing of sexual desire while on antidepressants is extremely common. Every now and then someone can get lucky and find one that doesn't do that...prozac was fine for me for several years.
Anyway, as long as you are on a medication that does that to you, life isn't the same as it was and will require some changes. For example, wellbutrin is a common add-on to boost another antidepressant but also to boost sex. Ritalin can be used shortly before anticipated sex to get a boost in desire. Other than that you pretty much have to shop around for another antidepressant, but they are all pretty guilty.
