Yeah, looks like. At least, you wouldn't be the only one doin it. ;)
But I couldn't find any specific recommendations for it (well, or against for that matter!).http://www.medhelp.org/forums/mentalhealth/archive/164.html

Absolutely. I'm on both and am very pleased with the effect. I was on Wellbutrin for several years and then just added the Serzone a few months ago to reduce generalized anxiety. (I had tried Paxil, Prozac, imipramine, and Buspar before but they caused sexual side effects or nausea and dry mouth.) I did not have medication induced sexual disfunction (low drive) with Wellbutrin alone and don't have it now with the Serzone added. The Prozac and Paxil both killed my desire.
Hope all works out well for you.

Hi,
I was on Wellbutrin with Serzone for years. The Serzone didn't fully work for my depression, so I opted for Celexa...then Effexor....
But as far as the sex drive goes: while I have been on any SSRI, my sex drive was gone. Even WITH the Wellbutrin. But some people do respond well (sexually) to that combo.
Good luck!
Sarah

Waterlily,
What doses are you taking, and when do you take Serzone? Thanks.

if, by your board name indicates, your are truly borderline personality, I would personally advise against adding wellbutrin to your regimen...
I used to be on Wellbutrin and Serzone, and the wellbutrin ALONE aggravated my anxiety, agitation and emotional levels so high that people were literally "walking on eggshells" around me. I've been off of both wellbutrin and serzone for over eight months now and although I'm still experiencing anxiety, my agitation and anxiety levels are WAY down. If you are borderline, I would highly recommend staying away from Wellbutrin...
