Please post your progress with the Buspar. I would really like to see it work for you. If the results are unsatisfactory, adding Wellbutrin to Effexor makes sense to me based upon:
1. Wellbutrin is often used to remedy the sexual side effects of serotonin reuptake inhibitors. I don't know what the success rate is.
2. Wellbutrin can be a powerful augmenter of Effexor in producing an antidepressant response.
If it were me (and only me), and Buspar were to remedy the sexual side effects of Effexor 80 mg/day, I would continue to increase the dosage of Effexor with the reasonable expectation that the antidepressant response would progressively improve. Also, if it were me (and only me), and no other drug worked as well as Effexor, I would take it despite any sexual side effects. I want it that bad. Cost versus benefit. For me, the cost would be high, but the benefit would be higher. At the very least, it would be a bridge until new things become available.
I just thought I would share.
