>Ok, what I'm trying to say is I'm sure another combo will help, maybe even as much as the Wellbutrin, but I don't think any other will feel the same.

Jack,
But Lynne begins by saying that she can't take Wellbutrin. So isn't the point to help Lynne find a something that in your words "will help, maybe even as much as Wellbutrin"?

Also, Wellbutrin is a norpinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitor, and has no significant serotonergic component to its mechanism of action. That's why it usually has less sexual dysfunction side-effects.

Lynne,
It's always a good idea to double and triple check anything you read on this board before proceeding, and try to seek out the help of a good psychopharmacologist. --JB
