I would love to feel the sex drive. I went to my psych having bad panic attacks. He gave me 100mg Welbutrin per day which I take in the morning. I am taking 3 .05 Xanax a day also which I will get off of as soon as the Welbutrin kicks in. This is my 8th day on it, and I can’t even get calmed down jittery wise. How long could these side effects possibly last. Can’t sleep well, jittery, sweaty, dry heaves in the morning. I have eaten 2 meals in the past 4 days.

I was on fluoxitine (Prozac) for seasonal effect disorder, mild depression, and panic attacks. My libido had never been extremely strong anyway but the fluoxitine killed it completely. i had a very hard time acheiving any erection and it was impossible to ejaculate. I am almost 60 and started to have wet dreams. Yee gods! My physician switched me to Bupropian and suddenly I have gone sex crazy. I have done things completely out of character like looking at porn, buying sex toys and have been planning all kind of sex encounters with my wife of 36 years. She thinks it is wonderful! I have this sexual timgle in my genitals and can start dripping when having erotic thoughts. I still have a hard time with the erection thing but I am also a heart patient and all 3 drugs I take are noted for sexual difficulties. I can honestly say, I enjoy the increased libido, but since this is to the point of me being oversexed out of character for me, I also find it frightening. I have also been buying a lot of sh*t I don’t need off the internet and am almost manic at times. I don’t know what to do. The bupropian helps me with my job. I can concentrate much better and get more done, plus I find my work much more enjoyable. I have a very hard time sleeping and I’m tired during the day. I don’t know what to do. The depression and mild panic attacks I experienced are gone, but this personality isn’t me. If there was something that anyone has luck with and not drastic side effects, please advise.

Susi…it’ll be 1 month tomorrow since I’ve been on the Wellbutrin and no change whatsoever concerning my libido:( I also take Cymbalta which fortunately takes care of my insomnia, migraines and minor depression. My doctor told me to give it 2 months. I must say I’m disappointed. I was really hoping for the “horny” feeling other people talked about since the only reason I’m on Wellbutrin is to increase libido.
