Medication is helpful for some people, but not everyone. The effects of libido are variable too, from drug to drug and person to person. Some people are not affected at all. Others who are affected find that if they chosse one with a short half life (amount of time in blood), they can reduce dose to relieve the sexual side effects eg. Prozac has a long half life. It's not common that they reduce libido, more commonly they delay or prevent orgasm.
It's all down to personal choice but if I were you, l'd try therapy first DA. There are other side effects of drugs too, certainly worth it if the depression is severe but they are not likely to be a long term solution anyway so if you do take them it would be good to have more sustainable help like therapy anyway. Let me know if you decide to and want help finding someone.
