Antidepressants
Hi, I went for my yearly with my Ob/Gyn and said that my sex drive has been a lot lower since DD was born 3 years ago. She said that she suggests Wellbutrin. It is used to quit smoking, for depression and anxiety. Other great benefits of the drug are increased sex drive and weight loss. When I heard that, I said "sign me up".
I have taken it for 3 weeks. I have never taken any other drug like this before. It really does all that she said it would, except it gives me terrible headaches. I was wondering if I stuck with it for a few weeks if the side effects would wear off??? I called the Dr and she said no, but that there are a ton of other meds out there to try...
I'm not really depressed, and I am worried about weight gain and loss of libido with all of the other drugs...
It also helps me sleep well and not freak out over little things..it makes me more mellow. I like that..
Does anyone have any experience with this or other drugs??? Please share with me.
Thanks

Re: Antidepressants
My frien USED to take the Wellbutrin for weight loss and had to stop. She was having horrible reaction to it, she actaully felt suicidal, and she is so far from a suicidal person. I mean she is a party about to happen. She also got migranes from them. I would look for something else. JMO. Good Luck

Re: Antidepressants
OK, correct me if I am wrong but isn't it totally normal for your sex drive to go down after you have kids? You are way more tired than you used to be and you have way more responsibilities. You will not want to have sex every day or may be even every week. Doesn't mean you need to take some kind of drugs for it. Just make it count when it does happen.

Maybe it is nature's way of telling us to cool off
