In reply to wellbutrin + ssri revisited, posted by megs on March 22, 2000, at 15:59:04
>>What I am wondering is if anyone out there has been on this combo long enough to give me some results on its effect on weight loss and sex dysfunction.
Because of continued mental resistance to being on meds (yeah, I know -- I'm working on it), I haven't been on Wellbutrin for awhile. However, I did have very good experience with it concerning both weight loss and sexual response.I lost about 40 lbs. in 3-4 months without any conscious effort on my part (I just stopped wanting to eat beyond the point of being satisfied.) I should note, though, that I started out at 310 -- my loss was probably faster than someone with less to lose could expect.
Also, after about a month on the Wellbutrin, I climaxed twice in one night with my husband. Not a big deal for some, but considering that I've had an orgasm with a partner only about 10 times in 15 years, it was a banner evening. (My husband was giddy for days!) I can only presume that the drug had something to do with it.
Unfortunately, both my husband and I have low sex drives, so there were no repeat performances before I went off the medication a few months later.
Hope this information is helpful.
Good luck!
Heidi
