I’ve never heard of this effect being usually temporary.
If it doesn’t subside in a few weeks it often requires additional medication to solve and to my knowledge, for most people, lasts for as long as you take it

What pills would even do that? I know that anti-depressants can have that effect, but it’s usually temporary (i.e. the libido-suppressing effect subsides after taking them for about half a year).

SSRIs (depression and anxiety meds) can cause decreased libido as a side effect
Saltpeter pills for sure.
Seems to be a myth. Does explain where OOP might have gotten the idea, though.
Lions mane tend to decrease/kill libedo as a side effect.

I only know a few use cases of chemical castration and now I’m convinced they use “pretty” to mean “underaged”. Yikes.

Thanks. Those side effects definitely make anon sound like a dumbass.
