an active metabolite of seroquel is norquetiapine which is a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor. For some people increases norepinephrine, increases sex drive. I found increased sensitivity on pristiq which is an SNRI. Of course dopamine could be involved as well. If you were on a low dose it might be the dopamine.
Post-SSRI syndrome: iatrogenic anhedonia, memory and concentration problems, sexual dysfunction. [NOTE no sadness or anxiety]
