> Depends on the specific side effect, and on its severity. My guess is that the mood swings are considered "severe," because they may indicate bipolar, and WB is not a great drug for bipolar.I spoke to my pharmacist and he said if dizziness is one of the side effect than i should get on something else because that can turn into fainting which [obviously] would be a danger.
> > 1. anorgasm

> There are medications which can mitigate the anorgasmia from serotinergic medications. I used cyproheptidine successfully when I was on Effexor and on Cymbalta. Worked fine for me -- kinda like Viagra, you take a pill half an hour before you want to be able to roll around and scream, then you can do that successfully for about four to six hours. It doesn't work for everyone, but it's an anti-histimine, so the worst that happens if it doesn't work is -- it doesn't work. Also,
it's an old drug -- dirt cheap.Is there anything that can be taken regulary? Taking something 30 minutes before throws spontinaitely right out the window [which is always the best part of sex i think ;p ].
> Other options include WB to go with an SRI-type drug. There are others, but I forget.I was supposed to take it with Lexapro, but i thought the wellbutrin was more effective by itself [and i was supposed to eventually get off lexapro, i just jumped the gun i think...womp womp womp...]

> It might be that you want to try something like Provigil to augment whatever you take.I took Provigil sometime ago, but it's very expensive. I'll see if it's omething [my new] inusrance will cover.
Thanks for the advice...i'm writing all this down so i can "assist in my treatment" when i go to my doc [which is tomorrow].
