I'm just throwing out some ideas here, maybe they are bad but maybe they are worth looking into:
Perhaps you could try the higher dose of Cymbalta again along with 300mg of Wellbutrin?
Or you could try an SSRI. There are various antidotes to sexual side effects which may work. Buspar sometimes helps sexual dysfunction. You might have your sex hormones tested on an SSRI - a doc might try testosterone or a drug that combats prolactin.
Lyrica seems to have some success treating anxiety, perhaps it wouldn't impact your sports performance? It's an idea. Also Neurontin, which is a similar drug.
I take benzos and I run and lift weights. But I am not competitive. I suspect alcohol has more adverse effects on performance (and maybe weight?) than SSRIs or benzos generally would.
Therapy is worth looking into. If you have a hunch that it would help, then I would go with that hunch.
