If you have been taking antidepressant medicines for a long time, symptoms like low mood, reduced sexual desire, and lack of energy can sometimes occur as side effects of the medication or due to the underlying depression itself. It may also happen if the current medicine or dose is no longer the most suitable for you. Do not stop the medicine suddenly, as this can worsen symptoms. It is best to consult your doctor or psychiatrist, who may adjust the dose, change the medication, or suggest counseling or lifestyle measures such as regular exercise, good sleep, and stress management to help improve your mood and energy levels.
