Hi LastDyingWish,

I'm a strong advocate of AD's because they have really helped me to feel like myself again. (Currently taking 100 mgs of Wellbutrin and 15 mgs of Lexapro.) I think you should really give it a try and wait to see what happens.

A lot of other ADs can cause a person to loose interest in sex. To counter that many pdocs prescribe Wellbutrin. I think starting you out on Wellbutrin was a good move on the part of your pdoc.

Also, keep in mind that technically Wellbutrin is not a stimulant. It's in a class of drugs all by itself because it works differently than most ADs.

You might also ask your pdoc about Klonopin. It's not an antidepressant, but can relieve a lot of your symptoms. If Wellbutrin feels too stimulating, adding Klonopin to your "cocktail" can be very helpful because Klonopin has a very calming effect.

You're headed in the right direction to regaining your "old self." I know what it's like to loose that, but the good news is you can get it back.

K.
