It hasn't really helped yet with my sex drive. But I'm also on Paxil and Klonopin, which could be the reason for that. What really got my sex drive up more than anything else (although I couldn't reach orgasm) was Lexapro, but it didn't help with the depression, so my pdoc put me on Paxil instead. I'm really hoping that my sex drive will start to come back though. I miss it!I really like the WB though. It makes me feel better than anything else I've tried (which isn't too much) and it started making me feel better pretty quickly, although I've since had to up my dose twice and this week it seems to have become less effective again. I'm waiting to hear from my pdoc about upping my dose again. The only side effect that really bothers me is the insomnia. And after going to 225mg per day, I am actually smoking a lot less! In fact, I didn't have a cig today until about 2:30, which for me is unheard of.
Good luck if you decide to try it again. If it helps, for me the lower dose didn't do it, and I've heard of other people who got tired from a low dose and energized from a higher one.
