I would think that if you benefited from Wellbutrin that you would benefit from similar medicines. Wellbutrin seems to have mostly norepinephrine action, so a drug like reboxetine may benefit you. But it would be easier to tell if this might be the case if you tell us in which ways Wellbutrin made you better off.
Another strategy would be to augment Effexor to counteract the side effects. A stimulant is one example of an augmenting agent. Read Dr. Bob's tips (i.e. SSRI sexual dysfunction) for more ideas.
Also make sure you look at Dr. Bob's Tips under 'Antidepressant discontinuation reactions'. There is story after story of people having troublesome withdrawals from Effexor as well as some tips for dealing with it.
He said sex isn't important in a casual relationship? I think sex is important, whomever I am screwing to get it! Some psychiatrists think money is important, whomever they are screwing with to get it.
