How would Buspar help with sexual side effects of Zoloft?

Doc thinks it might help.. but how? I looked it up and it works on the same brain chemicals as Zoloft.

Buspar tends to increase sex drive whilst Zoloft and decrease it, so the Dr. is probably betting that the two will cancel each other out. The only problem I could see is that you will be on two anti-depressants and Buspar in particular could cause you to go into a manic episode if you have bipolar disorder. I’m guessing your Dr. will have you on small doses of each.

yes it does seem contradictory. but buspar has been shown to increase sex drive in some individuals. but if buspar doesnt work, you can ask your doctor for wellbutrin with zoloft to help with sexual side effects….this is a very common combination, and doctors use it often.
