Yes, one common augmentation strategy is adding bupropion. Some anecdotal reports suggest that adding Wellbutrin to an SSRI/SNRI regime can alleviate some sexual dysfunction side effects.
Well, Wellbutrin just doesn't do well with me. I feel agitated, and lose weight. Also, it did nothing for my delayed orgasm problem.
I should add that I take 1.5 mg of Klonopin and 50 mg of Seroquel at night for insomnia.
I'm curious: has anyone increased their Effexor dose, on their Pdoc's advice perhaps, specifically to get some dopamine "action"? Such as going from 300 to 375 or higher?
Again, factual and anecdotal reports both appreciated.
