Hi Jimmy,
I've never heard or read something that leads to a sexual dysfunction with the Lamictal alone. Lamictal is *sex neutral* by itself.
I also take Lamictal which i highly recommend for the bipolar depression. At the beginning it did even boost my libido. After a month my libido did return to *normal*.
BUT its action on glutamate's modulation via the MNDA receptors *may* increase the side effects of an SSRI if taken with.
So if that's your case, you may suggest to your pdoc to lower your SSRI/SNRI.
Good luck!
Max.
