Hi-
A lot of people feel that adding Wellbutrin to an SSRI does the trick. Well, here's my experience:
When I was just on Depakote and Wellbutrin, I was my normal highly sexual self. Big healthy appetite. Once I added Serzone it went out the window. Then I switched from Serzone to Celexa. Still out the window - maybe even LESS of a sex drive. Now I'm on Effexor XR and have been for about 7 weeks. The sex drive still has not improved...maybe it will. So for me, Wellbutrin with other SSRIs doesn't even make a difference. Wellbutrin alone is recommended if you want to retain sexuality. But The SSRIs are just too powerful of a damper on my sex life. Have you tried Wellbutrin while not taking SSRIs?
