A member asked:

I if you stop: Your buspirone, you are stopping one of the known antidotes to ssri sexual dysfunction and are possibly unleashing more anxiety symptoms that are detrimental to your libido. Stopping Abilify (aripiprazole) can lower your mood and your libidos. In reality they all work at different serotonin receptor sites. And the combo may be offsetting the zoloft's antilibido effect by an as yet poorly defined mechanism.

Depends.: The zoloft cause sexual side-effects but Abilify (aripiprazole) and Buspar are not. Actually Buspar had been known to increase libido and Abilify (aripiprazole) is neutral. So, if you take all of them together, one cancels the sexual side-effects of the other.
