Yes, antidepressants can adversely affect sex drive and erection. It is widely described in this article: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/stosowanie-lekow-a-seks Please remember, however, that adverse changes in the sphere of sexual life should not, and even cannot, be a reason for discontinuation of medication. Antidepressants, due to their mode of action, should be used regularly, and abrupt discontinuation of treatment can cause serious side effects. It is worth informing the attending physician or pharmacist about erection problems, then based on your general health he will decide whether you can safely use erection stimulating drugs such as sildenafil. I encourage you to watch a short video about erectile dysfunction: https://youtu.be/HZ3B-IiQAcE
