I take Strattera (for ADHD) in addition to my bipolar cocktail of meds (mood stabilizer, antipsychotic, etc). It really helps a lot with keeping me motivated and "perky." I'm like a slug when I don't take it. My pdoc doesn't hesitate to prescribe it because it is not a stimulant. He won't give me any stimulants at all, but the Strattera has always worked just fine anyway. It also improves my mood since it has some sort of antidepressant qualities.
Don't have any advice on improving the sex drive. Lamictal always killed mine. I didn't get it back until I switched off that. Good luck with that. Sounds like your pdoc isn't really listening to you or talking to you. Maybe it's time to try a different pdoc. Sometimes the key to finding the right med cocktail is finding the right pdoc.
