> I am a female and this stuff just crushed my sex drive and orgasms.
My partner is on Lexapro and same thing happened plus it didn't help her ugly moods-anxiety,anger,depression, etc. She lashes out constantly. Her psychiatrist then put her on Wellbutrin in addition to the Lexapro because it "would counteract the loss of sex drive/orgasm problems that Lexapro caused".
1st, Wellbutrin has NOT made the sex drive come back, it's worse! 2nd- the other behavior problems are worse and she disassociates more than ever. I've taken Wellbutrin (pre-menopausal depression) for 2 yrs and no problems at all (luckily). But the combo she's on and his reasoning make no sense to me.
Plus she's so irrational that although she complains/cries @ the sex problems, she won't get 2nd opinion, or confront the psychiatrist, who she only sees for the meds. She sees another psychologist for therapy, but just keeps regressing. I'm really worried @ her & our 17yr relationship.
