I can't speak to the Lexapro, but Wellbutrin typically doesn't have sexual side effects. I love Wellbutrin! Sadly, my pdoc put me on Paxil along with the Wellbutrin, so I'm in the same boat you are.
Aside from Wellbutrin, if you stay with the Zoloft (which has unacceptable sexual side effects for me) ginko biloba has been shown to often be quite effective in combating those SEs. I've always been a skeptic about "herbals" but the ginko has made a true believer out of me! The dosage for this remedy is 240 mg/day. If you're lucky, you'll be able to find 120 mg pills and only take them twice a day. Otherwise, you're looking at handfulls of pills. But WELL worth it, in my experience. It didn't fix everything for me completely, but at least now I enjoy sex again.
10 years is a heckava long time to live with SEs like that! ;)
