I know some people have a higher sex drive with mania, but there are also a lot of people that's sex drive has practicaly diminished. Mine is getting pretty bad. Has anyone had any luck regaining your sex drive after being on these meds? If so what have you done?
Thanks

Nick, Wellbutrin is NOT an SSRI or an SNRI, both of which can cause mania. I believe most pdocs think that Wellbutrin is safe.....sure wish I could take it!

Could be the women in your life... (no offense to them) but maybe you need to throw everything out... And completely reinvent YOU and the women you are with. Within the past 5 years... I completely changed my wardrobe and the way I look... No female would even recognize me anymore if they knew me before.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
