 She could also just be feeling better from taking the antidepressants. A woman in a better mood will feel like showing more affection.
Maybe in contrast to when she was down...this time seems like a honeymoon!
Feel blessed. Most people on anti-depressants are in better moods, but have no sexual desire.
Best Wishes.

thanks for the answers they are a mixed set. i will have a look at what she is on and see if they are prozac. what ever they are they have increased it 10 fold.
things are working out and i just hope the sex drive continues when she is off them

If the antidepressant is causing this, and at the same time she is to have a dose increase at some point in the future, that can really trigger a lot of issues that might not go well.By the way, it can be a problem for some people. Also, if it becomes a problem, it can be due to other issues being triggered, including bipolar break in someone with a history of mood disorders, etc.Don't mix alcohol with it either.

 I have been in this position before. Whilst I completely agree with Drew21 that anti-depressants usually decrease sex drive I believe that now the prescribed medication is working for her it would make sense that her outlook is more positive so her desire for sexual intimacy has increased. Enjoy each other!

 Well, as a person who recently was prescribed Prozac, again, after a period of time, and who just had some really mind blowing sex over this past weekend, I would say that yes, it is possible. Some antidepressants reportedly decrease sex drive. Zoloft in particular has some sexual side effects. I wouldn't worry about it through. Just enjoy it!!! :)

 maybe it's that she's not as depressed any more?

 Hmm, i'd be curious to know what medication it is?
I've only ever heard of them DECREASING sex drive, not increasing!
I'd just run with it! :)
