I was wondering if anyone ever heard of uncontrollable erections in men taking wellbutrin. Also, if any one has heard of increased sexual desire in men taking Wellbutrin. Your input is greatly appreciated.

J9, I have been on prozac for months and suffered from decrease in libido and unable to erect. I then added 150mg wellbutrin a day and my libido is back. I can easily erect when I see some sexy things. Yes, you are right. The erection was sometimes uncontrollable. Therefore I reduce the dose to 75mg and the erection returned to normal. One other is wellbutrin made me hostile and angry when I was on 150mg. The side effects alleviated when I reduct to 75mg.
Good luck.

Thank you for your input. Especially about the anger and hostility. Mu hubby experiences both of those. Maybe he needs to back down on his dosage. I will give him this info. Thanks again.

J9, I remember that when I was on 150mg wellbutrin a day, I swore my father in my heart whole day. I became impolite and easily got angry.
By saying reducing the dosage to 75mg, I mean that you can suggest your husband to reduce the dosage by half, or remain on the same dosage by taking it every other day. Though the half-life of wellbutrin is just 21 hours, my experience tells me that the result of taking the med every other day is even better.
BTW, can anybody advise me that is the standard dosage of the medications developed in the US or Europe for Western people only? I am a Chinese man (from Hong Kong), I feel that I am enough with the half standard dosage of ad meds. I am now on 10mg Prozac, 75mg Wellbutrin a day. Is it usual that Asian people need just lower dosage?
Regards.
