Janice, I agree with Shar...keep that Wellbutrin coming! (no pun intended). As to having difficulty reaching orgasm when you're not on meds...people vary in why this happens. Depression can make it hard to feel sexual, as can inhibitions. Perhaps you're depressed when not on meds, it's hard to get sufficiently aroused. I know when I'm really depressed, the last thing I think about is sex. BTW, Phoney Frog is doing great!--Cindy

They all make me hypersexual. I was taken off Anafranil right away. Desipramine, I was on only 50mg (along with mood stabilizers), and Icould have multiple orgasism and have sex for hours. Unfortunately I had to go off it as it really increased my rapid cycling.
