In reply to Zyban + Remeron + Rivotril= Worst sexual disfunct., posted by Latinlover on November 21, 2002, at 20:57:09
Sorry to hear you are having such bad side effects. I have had them too on Wellbutrin (Zyban). I am now taking Remeron and have experience with the sexual side effects you mention, including erectile dysfunction, anorgasmia, and delayed orgasm. Also orgasms may not be so intense anymore if you do have them. (Male, age 49.) It sounds like you are very sensitive to medications. I had the same problem with Effexor XR and Wellbutrin SR that you mention of being anxious with only 3 hours sleep at night, and loosing weight. I have had the sleepiness and weight gain with Remeron. These are the common side effects of the meds you mentioned:
Clonazepam (Rivotril):
Drowsiness, increased salivation, behaviour problems.Bupropion (Zyban):
Agitation, dry mouth, insomnia, headache/migraine, nausea/vomiting, constipation, and tremor.Mirtazapine (Remeron):
Drowsiness, increased appetite, weight gain, and dizziness.I think you could be getting different side effects from all three at the same time. They don't cancel out. You may have to do what I have done and be very wary of anything that increases norepinephrine. It sounds like you are very sensitive to the stimulation. The doctors are just guessing at what may work for you. It is too bad they don't warn you of side effects before starting. A nasty thing too is that the withdrawals cause such horrible mood swings and depression. Good luck.
