> 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.

Unfortunately, with SSRI's you don't know what it's going to do to you until you take it. I have heard from several people though, that Paxil just obliterates your sex drive. With Zoloft the only problem I had was libido, I was able to orgasm but I didn't really care, sex was boring. I'm doing great now, hopefully the combination will work for you too. Also, my doc said that Lexapro was a good substitute for people with s/d issues. It didn't work for me, but it does for many others. Good Luck!
