What Could Cause Poor Concentration, Memory And Lack Of Sexual Interest?
Sir I am taking the following medicines:
1. Intalith CR450mg
2. Asenapt 5mg
3.Veniz 150mg+75mg
4.Lamictal 25mg
5.Mirtakem 7.5mg.
I am having following problems: Lack of interest in pleasure activities including sex, difficulty concentrating, remembering.
Hi, The problems that you have listed can be due to depression. Although you have mentioned the list of medications you were taking, I would have preferred to know the duration as well the symptoms which made you seek treatment. Going by the medicines, you may be a case of bipolar disorder or less likely, unipolar depression. In case you are a case of bipolar disorder, I would like to get a lithium level done and then optimise your treatment accordingly. If lithium levels are adequate, I would consider increasing dose of lamotrigine. In any case, considering you are having symptoms now, your medicines need a review. Consult your psychiatrist and discuss your problems at the earliest. Best wishes.
