Seroquel side effects...

Posted by Sheilac on April 21, 2008, at 6:07:31

Ok - so far Seroquel has helped keep me stable. I am still dealing with some depression and anxity though.

But I'm not sure how to overcome the following Seroquel side effect: I have no sex drive what so ever. I would switch to Abilify as it really kicked up my sex drive, but it also made me so hungry that I could never get full.

Is adding Wellbutrin to the mix the key or is there another med that would help me out here. I miss my old self.

Have you had your prolactin levels tested ? That would be the limiting factor usually in atypicals as far as sex drive, although there might be other reasons I suppose pharmacologically.
