It also says she overdosed on the antidepressant Seroquel a month before the alleged sex assault, and had been prescribed Wellbutrin, another antidepressant, when she had the fateful encounter with Bryant.

Those are some powerful antidepressants she was taking.

Seroquel can make you into a zombie, the same with Wellbutrin.

But those drugs don't increase the sex drive. Most of them say for side effects loss of sex drive. I know a lot of gals on them, TOO MANY gals on those kinds of drugs, and they all say NO sex drive at all.

I've been taking Wellbutrin for a few years now. It doesn't have the zombie effect for most - quite the opposite.

Seroquel is not an antidepressant but, rather a antipsychotic (drugs given to shizophrenics), often given to bipolar patients who tend to be rapid cyclers and non-responsive to tradional mood stabilizers such as Lithium, and Carbamazepione. If she is manic depressive, and if she was of her meds, the defense actually has a legitimate argument. People cycling through a manic phase tend to be very sexually impulsive.

Wellbutrin, is an atypical antiderpessant, structurally related to methylphenidate (Ritilin), and it does not make one into a zombie, although Seroquel easily could.
