managing SSRI sexual side effects

Posted by mattye on September 7, 2006, at 9:48:58

Hi guys -
I've posted here a couple times about medication advise. I have depression, GAD, and ADD, with a history of addiction, opiates in particular.
Right now I am on Remeron, Wellbutrin, and Naltrexone. These medications are not managing my depression and anxiety very well.
I tried Lexapro, which worked pretty well, but unfortunately, the sexual side effects were pretty bad. This, however, was before I was taking the Wellbutrin. I've heard that Wellbutrin or a stimulant such as Ritalin or Adderall helps reverse the sexual side effects of SSRIs. My doc seems open to prescribing me a stimulant b/c I have been on Adderall before and I did not have a problem with abusing it (I prefer drugs that relax me, stimulants in high doses make me feel strung out, but in therepuetic doses, relax me).
Just wondering if anyone has had success managing sexual side effects using a stimulant + SSRI.
