I have the same problem with Paxil, and I'm getting Wellburtrin in a few weeks to add to it... now I'm wondering if I'm going to have to totally get off the Paxil (it works for me too, but the no sex thing is KILLING ME and has been for too long)
I took Zoloft before Paxil, and for me it had too many side effects that made me unhappy (not sexual, though) I lost too much weight (waaaaaay too much, I looked gross) and I lost hair- but I don't think those are nbormal side effects, so don't take mine as the norm.
I'm interested in what my doc will try.... I have ADHD as well, which the WellButrin will help too (and I have BPII which WellB is supposed to be beneficial for in some was as well)
keep me posted!
> I'm currently on Wellbutrin XL 300mg and was also taking Paxil. I'm quitting the Paxil because I could not have sex on it even with the Wellbutrin. Paxil works great for me but is the worst for Sexual Dysfunction in all areas. My doctor suggested I try Zoloft because out of all the SSRI's, it is suppose to have the least sexual side effects. I'm starting low 25mg and maybe going to 50mg. Could you still have sex with Zoloft but just lower libido? I'm almost scared to start it because of the time it takes to adjust to new meds and hate to wait a month to find out I'm sexless. Any positive things with Zoloft? I'm mainly taking it for GAD, SAD and will still take the Wellbutrin XL with it.
