I hate taking Paxil....evil...horrible...for only one reason. I have zeeeeerrroooo libido. And it really sucks. Does anyone have an alternative to this pill that will keep me stable and want some every now and then?
Thanks..;)

You could - but is the Paxil working for your mood? Wellbutrin is not an SSRI (I'm not an expert so I won't go into the specifics, though there are many others here who could). I say add it instead of replace the Paxil b/c you may not respond to the Wellbutrin alone. But Wellbutrin added to my SSRIs counteracted the loss of libido side effect. Doesn't work for everyone, but it worked that way for me.P
