'decreased libido' is certainly a side effect.

I wouldn't take what your doctor says as gospel, unless you really trust them. Many seem to think that women tend to need 'calming down' & that having feelings is a bad thing.

I hope you're getting counselling in conjunction with the medication, & not just using pills to repress your feelings?

I have some experience with all this sort of stuff, PM me if you like.
