I would want to have sex but couldn't! This also happens with other stims like diet pills, but NOT with Concerta, which actually helps. How can some stims cause flatulence and some not? On page 19 of the PI under the last chart, in fine print says "AT LEAST 1% males experience flatulence."
Also, you mentioned Wellbutrin being "potent." Isn't it considered a weak inhibitor? I was also surprised to see in the PI that it works on norepinephrine, SEROTONIN and dopamine. I didn't think Wellbutrin effected serotonin at all? What is a fair evaluation period for Wellbutrin XL? Aren't you supposed to know fairly quick with this med versus SSRI's?
Confused,
Ted
