> I don't know if this is relevant to this particular topic, but I will give it a try. I've had, and have a lot of boughts of mania, and I don't know if seratonin has anything to do with my problem, but: I haven't wanted sex for the last 2 1/2 years...since my son was born, and during most of that time I was on Zoloft. Anyway, just recently, after being off all meds pretty much...and since being diagnosed bi-polar, i've gotten my sex-drive back. I'm not on any "anti-depressents" anymore, just mood-elevators basically (topamax/lamicatal) and my sex drive is still back. Do you think it's back to stay??? I was even on Symbyax there for awhile for around 3-4 months...and it still was gone. Like I said...just within the last month....going from just lamictal,(weaning myself off)to now topamax as well. Do you think these will have a negative side effect on my sex drive as my dose gets stronger? I'm on 50 topamax now, but will eventually be at 125. Thanks....
I've never been on Topamax. I have been on a low dose of Lamictal though and I found it increased my sex drive. One time, when I was off my lithium for a while, dramatically.
