> Hello,Generally the sexual dysfunction is thought to
be caused by the serotonin "5ht-2" receptor.
One approach is to add-on a medicine that blocks
this receptor. This would include of the
antidepressants Serzone & Remeron. For bipolar an
excellent choice is Zyprexa. There is also Geodon
etc. The anti-anxiety medicine Buspar is another
option.I haven't tried a Wellbutrin add on, but I have
heard of success stories.Regards,
John
