Hello I have been taking Lamictal for 12 years. My labito/sex drive has been horrible. my husband always wants to touch me and do stuff and I don't want to , I have no desire have sex..I'm thinking it might be the Lamictal because every since I have been on it I see my sex drive has gone down. Has anybody gone through this before from Lamictal.Thanks
Lamictal does it up your labito/sex drive?

Lamictal is a drug I have been on for years and the doctor I have been seeing for 25 years does say this is one of the sedatives that does cause these feelings. I've been in the same situations.
I found it slightly activating and it helped my libido. Are you taking anything else and has the entire 12 years been this way?
