What Causes Lack Of Libido While On Lamictal And Celexa?

I m 18 years old. I have been on Celexa for Depression for over 3 years now, I m also on Lamictal for Seizures. I havent been in the mood for sex lately. I havent been wanting it at all. What is wrong with me? I use to want it and enjoy it, Its not the person i m with. It has to be something more than that.

Hello and welcome.

Both the medications you are on can cause a reduction of libido and if at all you are experiencing these side effects, you should speak to your doctor about substituting these medications or the one that is causing the suppression of your libido. I am sure once this is done and a more suitable medication is prescribed, you should regain your sexual interest.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
