Hi there everyone,
I was hoping someone might be able to help. I have been on seroquel for around 6 months now and for the last 3 months my libido has been very low. I have no interest in sex. It's like I can't be bothered with the hassle of it. Is this connected with taking seroquel? Many thanks purplesusi |

YES........ it is possible, for most antidepressants have side effects on the old libido, not to mention the fact that depression its self can rob one from the mere pleasure of sex.
I was informed by a doctor that adding Wellbutrin to the mix could help with the sexual side effects caused by antidepressants, so please have a talk with your own doctor. LoVe, Rhapsody - |

Seroquel is not an antidepressant, and usually does not have this problem. However I have seen it with higher doses, above 400 mg/day, and is likely due to dopamine blockade. A little wellbutrin may help.

Is there an alternative to Wellbutrin that does the trick?

DARN DEPRESSION MEDICINES! - helps in one area but take from another......  What we really need is a medicine that will increase our changes of being able finish with that big BANG at the end. Any ideals - Any one? LoVe, Rhapsody - |

You asked what works, and I told you. I am not making it a personal recommendation, not am I anyone's doctor here. They would not recommend it because it is illegal, not because it doesn't work. People use those substances all the time to help with sexual performance.

LOL...Ok I 'll be good. Trazadone may help if you don't fall asleep first. Cialis or the other ED meds can work quite well for women too, but insurance won't cover it for women so ask for samples. Levitra seems to have the least amt of headache SE's.
