You are too cute! Congrats on the baby boy! You are SO lucky! I can not wait for me and my other half to get pregnant. Of coarse my mood change hasn't helped that. I have tried Prozac, and something else I can't remember the name of right now that made me sick, and now Effexor XR. I haven't been trying many different kinds as of yet, but I am getting these from my normal doc, as I have a hard time talking to a phsyciatrist. It is hard for me to open up to those people, has been since I was a kid.
> Unfortunately, I have not heard of one or taken one except Wellbutrin that did not have that s/effect. I take Effexor Xr and Klonopin. I have severe fatigue and residual depression/anxiety and PTSD as well. I am currently (3rd day) taking 150mg Wellbutrin XL w/ the other two meds.. When i took WButrin alone, I was overagressive and angry so i see where ur doc is coming from BUT everyone reacts differentely to meds. and if the libido issue bothers u that much, maybe approach ur doc about WButrin and an anti anxiety as well? There have been some that have had success w/ an Effexor and Wellbutrin combo along w/ a benzo(xanax,valium,klonopin). Wellbutrin tripled my *normal* libido and now i have a 10 month old beautiful baby boy!! ; ) Just FYI! Take care.
