SSRI's (Prozac, fluoxetine, sertraline, Zoloft, Paxil, Lexapro, citalopram, Symbiax, Celexa) are very commonly used to treat the depressive symptoms of bipolar disorder. I see many people on them and many report almost total suppression of sexual appetite and drive. I'm going to bet you're on one of these.
Don't just stop the medication. There can be discontinuation side effects. You need to talk to your doctor about possibilities. Also, there are risks associated with depression. Possible strategies include a change to another class of medication; SNRI's such as Cymbalta or Effexor.
