Interesting you say that about that Wellbutrin- I had a similar side effect with Wellbutrin- it made me really angry and emotional 😳 Stopped it immediately.

Wellbutrin gave me intolerable side effects, the worst being body tremors which took a while to go away even after stopping.

Have you ever looked into tricyclic antidepressants? They are old-school, but effective, and helpful for anxiety. Years ago, I was on pamelor. My doctor briefly switched my to another tricyclic -I think it was desipramine- and I definitely felt a jump in my sex drive. So maybe you could try that?

As a man I lost sex drive on them, I changed to Citalopram and things improved. Ray.
