In reply to Wellbutrin killing sex drive, posted by questioner on November 18, 2003, at 16:09:59
I am a male who has taken wellbutrin for years. My experience is that wellbutrin did not effect my libido. Prozac did, but later disappeared. Have him try remeron. I am currently on remeron and prozac with lamictal and my libido is just fine. Hope this helps.

> Oddly, Wellbutrin is often given to people who had this problem with other drugs and want to fix it while remaining on antidepressants. So it is very weird that it had that effect on him.

> Since he went off Wellbutrin and now, he's been self-medicating with 5-HTP, a seratonin precursor that can be bought over the counter. It works well, but when he has an off day it can be disastrous.
