Actually, I'm being treated for depression and anxiety. I guess the wellbutrin is for the depression and the effexor was added to deal with the anxiety.

In the past I've tried mood stabilizers, which just didn't work out for me. SSRIs make me feel good (acutally like a big, fat, lazy cat), but useless and just not interested in sex.

My depression and anxiety seem to get worse around pms time. If I could just treat the depression and anxiety without all the sexual side effects I would truly be happy.

Zoloft made me hyper and anxious. Prozac made me numb. Celexa made me happy and gain 30 lbs.
I've tried Seroqual at night but I didn't like it because I just couldn't wake up the next day.

My pdoc suggested Risperdal to deal with the bitchy part of pms.

The Effexor is great, but I almost feel like I need more, but I don't want to further complicate the sexual side effects. Does this mean I need more seretonin?

I need an AD to deal with depression & anxiety that won't effect my sex life!

I just don't know.
