Hi everyone,
I notice most people have the opposite complaint to the one I do. I’m a 34 year old woman with both bipolar (under control) and ADHD, for which I recently started Wellbutrin as I can’t tolerate the stimulants well lately.
Well to make a long complicated sexual history very short, the only times I have achieved orgasm in my life (except twice) has been while taking Anafranil, Desipramine and now Wellbutrin. They all make me hypersexual. I was taken off Anafranil right away. Desipramine, I was on only 50mg (along with mood stabilizers), and Icould have multiple orgasism and have sex for hours. Unfortunately I had to go off it as it really increased my rapid cycling.
The inability to orgasm isn’t related to mania because I’ve been manic many, many times in my life without being on an AD. While I’d become hypersexual, I’d never orgasm.
So now I’ve started Wellbutrin. On day 5, Boom! There’s my sex drive again, and thank god the ability to orgasm, and thank god my boyfriend from out of town!
Any ideas?
It’s very frustrating.
Thanks Janice
