Hi Jane -
I've been on Wellbutrin for 4 weeks (today)... definitely had increased sexual arousal... but, it actually seemed to level out this week. So, I'd suggest hanging in there a couple more weeks to see how the Wellbutrin levels off for you.
Something you said, though, has me concerned... am I right in understanding that you believe your doctor offered sexual services to you or made a sexual/romantic advance? If that is the case, and the next time you see him you get the same impression, I would immediately change to another physician. While the great majority of physicians and therapists would NEVER put a patient or client in that position, unfortunately there are those who do. If you are uncomfortable in the situation, you have a right to change, regardless of whether you are "reading into" or "correctly reading" his actions.
Also, do you have a therapist you can talk to? One thing that I addressed in therapy the past couple years was my ability to trust my impressions of others and to trust my ability to make the correct decisions for myself.
Take care of yourself - and remember, you have the power to make a change in this situation if you need to.
> Does Wellbutrin cause a heightened sexual arousal effect when first taken? Or could it have been what seemed like an offer of other services? I feel like I have to change docs as I write my thoughts. Thanks for listening. I know I sound confused. I'm losing sleep over this.
