In reply to Adding Wellbutrin to my mix.What to expect? Advice, posted by Jasmineneroli on September 22, 2004, at 17:17:32
Hi Jas.
How did you respond to Effexor?
Regarding the use of Wellbutrin for remedying the sexual side effects of antidepressants, I have no experience with it personally. It has become a very popular prescribing practice, but it doesn't seem to be a panacea. I would think it more effective to combat a loss of libido and enhance arousal than to treat anorgasmia, but I can't attest to that. It might be worth starting a new thread dealing with sexual side effects. Remeron has been reported to be helpful. Both Remeron and Wellbutrin often serve as augmentors to help other antidepressants work better. However, Wellbutrin can sometimes produce anxiety and irritability in vulnerable individuals. Either drug might offer an ideal combination of treating sexual side effects and enhancing the antidepressant action of Celexa. Hopefully, you'll get some detailed feedback from people who have used these medications.
