Well, OK I did not share that I am also sexually compulsive with this group because I did not feel comfortable with all of you yet. I thought that perhaps I would get judged and there would be folks that had a "better than thou" attitude.
I visited my pdoc today and he has me off of Effexor XR (This morning was the las 37.5mg dose). Tomorrow I start with 20mg of Celexa in the am and 150mg of Wellbutrin SR at lunch.
The trick is to be able to have healthy sexual relations with my partner and to be able to live free of the compulsion to have sex continuously with strangers. I work a 12-step program for this and my pdoc says that Celexa can help me.
He also said that Celexa will help with my anxiety. I hope that it is all he has cracked it up to be. I don't want to be a zombie. I don't want to be sexually numb and fat. I don't want to feel like I'm on speed either. These have all been past reactions to Effexor XR in the beginning and a I've experienced some of this with the Wellbutrin SR.
I'll let you all know how I'm doing. If you have any sage advise about using Celexa with Wellbutrin, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.
