Hey y'all my girlfriend was on risperdone, geodon,latuda and now she's on ablify all in a matter of 3 months. She has no sex drive whatsoever. Which is putting strain on our relationship. I'm on lamictal, cymbalta, remeron and vyanse and I still have a sex drive and I can't help it. Like a any suggestions regarding medication or like any way to combat this?

My pdoc added Welbutrin to counteract absent libido. I don't know that I am a fan of just adding more drugs to treat side effects but that is a whole 'nother subject

I wasn't prescribed Wellbutrin for that specific reason, but I have noticed an increase in libido. Effexor absolutely killed it, Wellbutrin brought it back.
