Sex is also important as it gives so much meaning for me being a woman and satisfying my husband so I would always pick that but I don't know how crazy you are getting.


This. Choose sex.

DP here. I use some decent anxiety/moodiness as well but so far I have made the same choice. I just worry too much about the side effects. I have 3 more years until youngest is in college. I am going to reevaluate then when I don’t have daily responsibility for other people.

Good god, Wellbutrin is horrible. One of the worst SSRIs to get off of due to discontinuation syndrome. It took me a year of weaning down my dose to stop, and the brain zaps, dizziness, etc. were the absolute worst. Don’t do Wellbutrin OP. Also - I lost my sex drive due to SSRIs. I was on them for years, and honestly, it never came back fully. This is a real thing, and now being recognized.

Wellbutrin is not an SSRI or even an SNRI. It’s an NDRI (norepinephrine/dopamine).

I’m sorry it was so horrible for you. A lot of people, myself included, have real benefits from it, including improved mood and weight loss.

THIS. There is so much more to life than sex. It would be different if you were 32.

Not the least bit helpful. The OP has a real concern and you simply dismissed her.

Wellbutrin has worked amazingly well for me.
