Hi All, 34 year old male on 200mg of SERZONE/NEFAZODONE for 7 years, WEAK SEX DRIVE, AND EJACULATION - Doctor has now told me to take 75mg of fast acting Wellbutrin on top of my 200MG OF NEFAZODONE to get my libido back. WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME IF THIS WILL WORK, HAS IT DONE THE TRICK FOR OTHERS ON ANTI DEPRESSANTS ?
Please advise
Tony Cee

Hi Tony C.:
Nice to see your name again!
However, this time, it's NOT about Nefadozone/Serzone issue. BIG surprise!(Grin)
I've been on Nefadozone and Wellbutrin SR for the past three years or so. In my experience, it's a good combo. What this combo. does is that Serzone/Nefadozone is a kind 'weaker' A.D. which does not offer you quite energy and sometimes good on Anxiety, besides A.D.effect. WB is on the otherhand, it gives you 'energy,' and 'wakefulness/perk-up,' however I have NO idea whether this 'energy' efficacy would help your 'male' problem. Also, a 75 mg is VERY small dosage, on which I never heard. At least, you may need to hit a 100 mg. or even 150 mg. if you want to get things solved.
BTW, I started to wean off Nefadozone gradually and now taking Trazodone which is now on a 150 mg. and move up to 300 mg. by early part of next month, or a bit later. Because, my prod.seems not want me to stay on Nefadozone and put me 'Blood-work' soon.Hopefully, some 'good' opinions/suggestions on this regard coming from 'male' posters soon.
H.G.

Hi Tony C.:
>>> 75mg a low dose ? Should I have a side affect ? <<<--- It's a 'low' dosage, but your pdoc. talking about 'A starter/beginner's dosage' that often a TINY dosage as it might give you 'negative' effect. After seeing some happiness on WB, you may gradually move up to the dosage where you feel 'comfortable' ... in your case, to get 'a male problem' solved. Furthermore, WB is a kind 'stimulant,' and some of folks complains about irritability, insomnia and other 'strange/odd' problems that of course depends on person to person. Some has 'tremor' on the limbs or 'jaw-clenching,' then your pdocs. seems EXTREMELY cautious not to rx more than a 75 mg. as recalling you have somehow a 'med-sensitive' individual. But again, Nefadozone/Serzone counteracts those 'bad' side-effects from WB, then you don't need to worry about. Nothing at all about those 'Bad' things from WB. Just, take it and see how things going to happen. ----
>>> Also what dose of Nefazodone are you on ? And will you go completely off ? Any withdrawal ? <<<
--- Do you remember, ... I was a 'high' dosage, most of time, the 450 mg., ... three 150 mg. per day from morning to bedtime.
Well, .... completely off??? Yes, a sort, but I may need Nefadozone occassionally when Trazodone does not give me 'enough' AD, often on my stressful days.Withdrawal? ... this is also a puzzle to me, but I have NONE, at least now, after 2-3 days. Because, I started on Trazodone which is VERY similar to Nefadozone, so to speak, 'sister AD' to Nefadozone. Then, it seems to me Trazodone taking care of this, 'Withdrawal' symptoms quite well. But, this might be ONLY me, then I can NOT tell this works on anybody else, particualy those long-term users.
