Did you notice the lithium kill your sex drive at all?
I'm female, but lithium didn't kill off my drive at all.
Did a quick Google search
Haldol is know to kill off desire.
Topamax is sort of a coin flip.
Lithium (for me) was neutral.
Are you Bipolar? Maybe the doctor can switch out the Haldol for another antipsychotic.
I'm somewhere on the bipolar spectrum according to my doc. I'll have to talk to him about the side effects of all these drugs and more specifically th haldol, it's just the next appointment isn't for a couple months.
I know topamax acts similar to Xanax on GABA A receptors and when I take Xanax I don't have a sex drive. Yet the haldol blocks dopamine receptors in my brain and dopamine is supposed to be key chemical in influencing sex drive.
Anyway thanks for your response
