Kinda ironic, isn't it?

Not really funny at all. The pill works because it introduces the same hormones into the female body that it produces during pregnancy. To protect the foetus the female body reacts to these hormones by decreasing the sexdrive during a certain period of the pregnancy (Not sure witch though...) so changing hormone levels of the pills is a verry good idea. (this is the way my ex-gf's gynecologist explained it to me when her libido decrased, nedless to say it shot skyhigh when she took pills with a slightly different hormonelevel).
As for antidepressants, they affect libido bigtime. She really should talk to her doctor about this since it is affecting your relationship negativly it is affecting her mental state negativly. It can really become a problem both for you and her in the long run.
