Best Answer

No lamictal doesn't cause sexual side effects. It's probably your underlying condition of Bipolar disorder or depression itself. It doesn't affect serotonin like the SSRI antidepressants which cause sexual disfunction instead it works through and independent mode of action acting as an antagonist at the NMDA receptor.
