In fact, it induced sexual side effects all by itself. I remember reading somewhere that ~22% of people taking Wellbutrin get sexual side effects. I cannot remember the reference, but I do remember that it was from a high quality journal.
It gave me painful orgasms. Pretty wierd huh?
I dumped it in less than two weeks.
Why do "in practice" rates of side effects always seem much higher than the "scientific" clinical FDA trials? I have had my hopes dashed by many meds claiming to be one thing and turning out to be a (worse) something else. Maybe it is just me?Thrud
