In reply to Re: Anyone on Lamictal Monotherapy/ssri sexual probs, posted by Psydoc on January 6, 2002, at 17:36:58
my experience with Lamictal as a (AD)monotherapy has been a real failure,though I have reached even 450mg Lamictal doses ; so,I have had to switch back to my successful Celexa(40mg)adm.and reconsidering the REintroduction of Lamictal,lower doses,as AUGMENTATION and eventually as a Mood Stabilizer for a BP2(as I am considered to be)
While SSRI's in general are indeed affecting the sexual life(less seriously would affect Celexa),Lamictal on the other hand,is even quite enhancing it,so the combo may be good in all terms
waiting for similar observations and conclusions
