> 75mg of Effexor XR is causing sexual side effects. Doctor suggested increasing my Wellbutrin from 150 XL to 300 XL.

> Any suggestions?Could you lower the Effexor a bit? I found my Effexor side effects were very dose dependent. I managed on 37.5 mg of Effexor for years. Higher doses caused much worse side effects.
Wellbutrin alone did that same thing to me. Energy but I hated how I felt. And insomnia, too.
