Happiness vs sex drive

Against my doctors wishes I have (slowly) come off my antidepressants and my pill and have noticed my sex drive is slowly returning -WHOOP DE DOOOPPPPPP
However, I am very fragile (emotionally) and I have noticed myself suffering from bouts of rage or extreme sadness in the few weeks. I have come off the antidepressants before and lasted about 4 months before I went back on them. I have suffered depression since childhood the drugs have really made a difference, however the lack of sex drive is going to destroy my otherwise fantastic relationship. However, I don't want to have to feel like this for the rest of my life. I need something to numb the pain and the antidepressants do just that. What do I do

I have millions of times but she says that its not the antidepressants its because I'm depressed. Even though I'm happier now than I've ever been in my life and my sex drive is the lowest
Also they'll probably just change me onto another SSRI and that group of ADs have been linked to low sex drive generally so there is a chance it'll stay the same. I've changed my pill loads and that hasn't helped so I want to just come off them both. I can't risk another AD doing the same to me because my relationship is at breaking point
AAAArghhhh
I have recently come off my pill on the advice of my friend as my sex drive was practically non existant and it has made the world of difference!
