Good afternoon.
I have been taking Zoloft for 5 months, the desire for cohabitation with my husband has disappeared, this despite the fact that they should try to take care of the baby.

Loss of libido (desire to have sex) is a common side effect of SSRIs, such as Zoloft (sertraline). This may be related to the drug's effect on the serotonergic system in the brain, which plays a role in regulating sex drive.
Decreased sex drive in people taking Zoloft may persist throughout treatment. It is important to talk about this problem with your treating doctor, who may consider changing your dose or using other strategies.
It should be remembered that each body reacts individually to drugs. If the libido problem persists and causes you difficulties, it is worth consulting a psychiatrist or sexologist to find an optimal solution. If you need advice from a psychiatrist, you can use teleconsultations here:

Please remember that treatment of difficulties in the area of psychological functioning only with pharmacological agents carries the risk of intensification of symptoms after discontinuation of medication and or shortly thereafter. If you have not started psychotherapy (apart from taking medication), I encourage you to make an appointment for a consultation with an appropriate specialist.
