> Today I saw my Doctor, a well informed one at that, about adding wellbutrin along with my effexor xr to combat the side effects I have experienced. She agreed that it may be what I need to "boost" my sex life a bit. I started today at 150 mg. wellbutrin, along with the 150 I take already of effexor xr. Hopefully the side effects of the wellbutrin will be minimal, which is what my Dr. expects. We talked at great length about the 2 meds, and she is very helpful, compassionate, and also careful. I would be interested to hear from anyone who has taken this combination as to what they have experienced. (a message to "TinMan", hang in there, I think I know what your going through, and I'm thinking about you. This thread has also been a godsend for me, I thought I was lost for a long time.)
Hey, thanks for your words of support. So far, so good on reducing the dose of Effexor from 225 to 150 mg. I did have a mild panic attack this a.m. but knowing that it was a withdrawal symptom, I am okay.
Please let me know how you do on the Wellbutrin/Effexor combo. My Dr. does not want to put more AD's into my system, which is good BUT, I do want a sex life!
Sexless in Oz,
