Unfortunately I am now starting to suffer sexual problems from the Klonopin (decreased libido, erectile problems) already. This surprised me as I thought Wellbutrin, with its reputation as a sex enhancer, would prevent this. Klonopin dosage now up to 2 mg a day in two doses, Wellbutrin SR at 300 mg a day in two doses.

> Is the Wellbutrin helping?

I am just finishing my third week on it, and I think my mood is lifting, but of course the Klonopin-caused sexual problems are putting a damper on things so it is hard to tell.

My doc has referred me to a specialist in psychotropic medications whom I will see next week, maybe this new "doc" (actually some kind of nurse that can prescribe meds) will get me where I need to be.

At this point I am beginning to wonder if anyone taking meds can have a good sex life. After my Paxil experience I thought Klonopin would be relatively harmless compared to Paxil in terms of neutering, but it isn't, even when enhanced with Wellbutrin. Unless of course the sexual-boosting effects of the Wellbutrin take more than three weeks to appear. I will just plod along awhile longer and see what the new doc has to say.

I am starting to think it might be better to be socially phobic, med-free, and with a good sex life instead of the med-offered alternatives. All I need to do is find a job where I don't need to interact with people. A tough problem in today's service-oriented economy.
