My PCP started me on Wellbutrin 150mg Now I'm a older woman and been with my husband many yrs 21 of them to be exact But since I been taking this medicine I find my sexual desire has return does that wellbutrin have anything to do with it also my energy seems to be returning also

Answer 1

Interestingly, Wellbutrin is one of the atypical antidepressants reported to have the least (for most people) negative sexual side effects. Low libido is one of the hallmark symptoms of depression. It is possible that the Wellbutrin is working very well (treating your depression) and that the associated low libido is falling by the wayside.

Answer 2

Yes,I think the Wellbutrin has a lot to do with it.Were you diagnosed with any mental illness(depression)? Wellbutrin is used for treatment of depression.I can't take it due to side effects. Sounds like what the doctor ordered.You must of mentioned to him/her you were feeling out of sorts some how.This is a sign the meds are working.I bet your smiling easier and more often,laughing ,calmer.Basically starting to enjoy life again as it should be.And your one of the lucky ones! My antidepressants have the other effect sexually(which is a very common side effect unfortunately with most mental health drugs).I have rapid cycle bi-polar/depression,so I'm on to many meds(but it keeps me sane for the most part at least)lol.

    Enjoy your new found life!!! Take your medicine as prescribed.
