The Effexor means soft erections and no climax so I take a small amount of Wellbutrin to counter the effects of the Effexor. It works well for me (no pun intended...) My wife had a hysterectomy for ovarian CA in Sept., and has been a little on the frigid side most of our marriage anyway, so a little less interest is a good thing on my end.
My titration schedule called for me to up my dose of Topamax to 50mg last night. Slept through the night. Very vivid, but not bad dreams. Me sleeping through the night without getting up two or three time to use the bathroom is a miracle.
Please don't worry about a few pounds. Your hubby won't mind the extra padding to play with :) If my my wife was in the mood I'd be thrilled, even if she is bald at the moment...
Take care,
Tony
