Lamictal-induced manic hypersexuality

Posted by lynniel on September 27, 2007, at 16:26:16

Has anyone out there experienced a MAJOR manic episode with extreme hypersexuality while on Lamictal? I was told by my psy (MD) that its not in the drug literature and only happens in 1-2% of the population. (I am now a case study for the drug mfg)
Just be forewarned... it switched me from depression to major mania in a matter of 6 months.

Now, I'm on Zyprexa and my moods are even, even though I've gained 12 lbs (I was too skinny, so its fine). I look back on what happened to me, and its unreal. I was a completely different person who became obssessed with sex. Very destructive.

Does anyone know how this could chemically happen? How did a med produce hypersexuality, what goes on in your brain to make that possible? Dr Bob... any answers here for me?
