I think it is possible for drugs to cause permanent problems; I agree with that. I do think that some things which are normal aging might be seen as drug induced. If one went on an sri when you were 18, and come off at age 30, its normal for libido to be lower, due to age. Also, chronic depression can have harmful effects on the mind, especially when the treatment isn't working. So i don't agree that somethign that is an issue post-drug that wasn't an issue pre-drug is necessarily because of the drug.
I'd also like to note that all of those symptoms sound related to reduced dopaminergic function, either conclusively or as a theoretical possibility. I really would suggest a drug like bupropion or selegiline as the best possibility for alleviating them.
