>What level of Wellbutrin did you reach when you tried it for sexual side effects and did you use as noted before some Valium or Klonopin ?
I took 150mg generic Bupron SR, but as a stimulant to counter the sedation of Klonopin. I've never used personally it to treat sexual problems but it is a recognised treatment for this purpose.
>Bromocriptine and cyproheptadine are pretty serious drugs -- bromocriptine is generally used more for prolactin sexual side effects with neuroleptics. Cyproheptadine is used in the ER to come down off of serotonin syndrome -- I hadn't really heard of Periactin being used as much orally prescribed, but I guess it is.
Not sure what you mean by 'serious drugs'. I think cyproheptadine is rarely used as an antihistamine because it is very sedating. I've seen it used to stimulate appetite in underweight babies though. I suppose it could cause depression in theory if taken for a long time to treat allergies - maybe another reason it is not commonly used for this purpose?
