The only drug I'm taking right now is tegretol (woohoo!), and I hadn't noticed any literature about it's effect on libido. It's not as bad as SSRIs or tricyclics, but I feel like it is impacting me. For the most part, it's just my desire in general, which is pretty nil. If I really worked at it, I could go through the motions, but even that seems harder, probably because my mind's just not in it. Does this jibe with anyone else's experience? Is there anything I could do about it (augmenting drugs, scheduling, etc)?

I think you should talk to your pdoc first.
If you wish to write me, i could give you some additional info (which you can bring to your pdoc;) i can't give you these infos here because of policy reasons.
