> The problem is that although I can go to sleep pretty easily, I wake up several times during night and I feel a bit tired afterwards.How do you know that the "tiredness" you feel after you wake up isn't really the same "lethargy" that you experience throughout the day? It might be the Cymbalts that is causing this. Alternatively, perhaps you need a sleep aid. If you wish to avoid benzodiazepines, Remeron might be worth looking into.
> Another problem is anorgasmia (difficulty to reach orgasm) and lethargy mood most of the time
If I were convinced that there was no way that adding Wellbutrin would make the GAD worse, I would say that it would be worth trying. However, Wellbutrin has been known to produce anxiety or make it worse in some people. However, for anergia associated with depression and sexual side effects, it can be a good augmenter of SNRIs. Personally, I found Cymbalta to produce fatigue whereas Effexor did not. I have seen others describe this as well. Have you tried Effexor?
