    Sexual issues - on Effexor XR - Adding Wellbutrin

    I've been on Effexor XR (150mg) for the past 6 months and recently have struggled with ability to climax. I am very active (cardio and weights)
    Rmy Dr prescribed 150 mg Wellbutrin 2.5 weeks ago. If anything, my "situation" seems to have worsened. While I had previously struggled to claim (but typically did after a LOT of "effort", I have not been able to at all over the past 2 weeks.

    1) Has anyone had a similar experience adding Wellbutrin due to a similar issue?
    2) If so, did you see further setbacks immediately following the addition of Wellbutrin?
    3) Is there a point where you saw the issues diminish and see an INCREASE in your sex drive and subsequent ability to climax?

    Man all I can say is; any drug that claims to cure one "illness" at the expense of side effects is not meant to go into your body. I was on SSRI's for about 9 months but my heart told me it wasn't right. I firmly believe that if you truely want to cure yourself of anxiety, medication is not needed and if you're using it, you still have to take the necessary steps towards curing your axiety FOR GOOD.

    That being said, I would add one pill to counteract the affects of another because its a never ending cycle. For now, maybe don't worry about it so much and try to limit the amount of masturbation, that may increase your libido. Long term man, if you want to recover, start to figure out a plan of weaning off.
