I got on Wellbutrin after no libido on Effexor. My pdoc realized that because I am a candidate for OCD and GAD I needed an SSRI to calm the effects of the Wellbutrin. He put me on Celexa. It seems to allow me to be calm, no anxiety. I have some libido. It's not perfect but my partner is very understanding.. ;-)
I hope you find what you need.
Take Care,

So the doc put me on Effexor -- what a nightmare!! I did NOT like that stuff and after six weeks, went back to ask her to change to something else. Now I'm on WB and have only been taking it less than a week at 150mg once a day. Am supposed to step this dosage up to twice a day once I've been taking one pill a day for a week.
