Music, I am on wellbutrin SR, which I was also on while on Effexor. I don't know that it "helped" sex-wise, but going off Effexor must be, because I actually have desire after just two weeks off the Effexor. Be warned, however, that you will dream on wellbutrin. I haven't had nightmares, just the goofiest dreams in the world, and it's every single night. I don't feel my sleep is actually being disrupted. In fact, after feeling good the last four days, without withdrawal symptoms, I feel better than I have for a very, very long time.
For anyone who has withdrawals from the Effexor, hang in there! It's tough, but you'll be okay. My mood was awful for the last week, emotional, even wishing I could just die (and not just because I was sick, I was soooo depressed), and for the last two days, I don't feel that. I feel like a normal person. I'm not saying I want to go off wellbutrin yet, but I'm feeling stable right now, and that's a wonderful thing. A little liposuction would be better yet, but they won't remove 1/3 of your body at a time, so I guess I won't be doing that (oh yeah, and it's not free either, empty checkbook).
Remember, Music, go off the Effexor s-l-o-w, and I mean very slow. I'll be thinking of you. Good luck! -Bobbi-
