that is a typically depressive symptom... not that you do not know it. If there is ebb and flow on the same set of meds, that would be due to mood fluctuations, methinks. I am not depressed; if anything, I am slightly hypomanic in the super motivated, geting things done sense. Which creates the problem - I informed the pdoc of sexual slowing and she and I decided to consider lowering the lithium at a later time (from 900 to 750 or 600), but since i take Lithium to prevent extreme elevation... you get the point. I am also considering Tegretol, but somebody reported that Tegretol, while not dulling her sexually, dulls her perception of music and arts, and for me it would not be a worthwhile swap since these things are equally important to me. Of course, I can try and hope that Tegretol does not dull me in any area, be it sexuality or appreciation of fine arts.
