| Re: Problem with meds and sex drive
Hello,
These meds sure can wreak havoc with our systems.
In reply to your question - I am on Lamictal and Wellbutrin, and actually had to lower the Wellbutrin because I was so turned on all the time that it was more a torture than a pleasure. Associated with that was a painful side effect of a sexual nature, apparently found once in a million people.
For sex drive, Wellbutrin often is prescribed to counteract the sexual side effects of the SSRI's, and it has worked better for me than the SSRI's. Also less likely to cause mania. You might ask your pdoc about Wellbutrin and Lamictal. I don't take an anti-psychotic, so can't advise you there, but I am sure others can.
This is just my own experience. And my last partner, while on Zoloft, had zero sex drive. Switched to Wellbutrin and away we go!
I hope this helps. It would a shame to have your marriage collapse when you otherwise have good relationship.
If your pdoc doesn't give you any satisfaction, then go elsewhere.
Wishing you the best and lots of sympthathy,
Seaturtle
