So, I told my psychiatrist about inability to have an orgasm as easily as before. He is increasing the dosage of Lamictal to 200mg/day and decreasing the dosage of Zoloft.
It has only been a couple of days and I am going through a lot with work, home, relationship, etc. Nothing majorly bad, but things that are requiring some "adult" decisions. I am 32 and just want to throw the BIGGEST temper tantrum.  I'm not kidding!I can't figure out if it might be the med change or if it is just the difficulties of dealing with my life. Does anyone have any ideas? I am not suicidal, but the urge to SI is coming back. It has been a couple of months with me not doing any kind of SI and I feel good about making that progess. I am afraid of falling back into an old pattern. Sorry, I know I am rambling a bit now, but I wanted to give you a bit of background. Thanks

Thanks, I tried to talk with my T about it, but she doesn't know enough about the mixture of meds to help me out.
I don't like my psych very much (unfortunately) to call him.

I always go through swings when I change meds. Even when they end up being a good combo it doesn't often feel that way for the first week or two. Mental health drugs seem to be that way - slow.
Too bad you don't like the psychiatrist. They're supposed to be the ones to go to about drug reactions so they can adjust things for you. It's important to keep them in the loop. Mine sometimes gets a little paranoid when I bring up something. I take Lamictal which you may know can cause a rash which is BIG trouble, very serious. I got frostnip which cause blisters that looked like a rash and he really got worried. Luckily it was frostnip. He worries more than I do. Maybe you should switch psychiatrists?
