Although Wellbutrin is an anti-depressant, some of the side-effects can be just as bad as the depression it's trying to treat. ?There is no drug that is perfect for anyone, and every person's body reacts differently. ?It's always a good idea to know the major side effects of a drug before you start taking it. ?Having a physician that has knowledge of such things is a good idea (you should be worried if he/she doesn't!)

No, not at all.

SSRIs work on serotonin while Wellbutrin works on dopamine and to lesser extent to norepinerphine / noradrenaline.

It has far fewer side effects compared to SSRIs, may improve sexuality rather than destroy it, but I don't think it is as powerful.

It's an SNRI, which means that it not only blocks serotonin reuptake but also norepinepherine(adrenaline).

No, it is not. It is a dopamine and to lesser extent norepinerphine reuptake inhibitor.

Can you take a ssri and tricyclic together?

Generally doctors avoid SSRI and TCA combinations. Safer approaches are tried first, as switching to different agents, increasing dosages, SNRIs (Effexor and Cymbalta), combinations of SSRI and Wellbutrin, Remeron or buspirone (Buspar) or augmentation of the SSRI with modafinil (US: Provigil). Well, if these didn't help you, you can try SSRI + TCA but expect some side effects that may be irritating. Most common from this combination should be dry mouth, constipation, weight gain, and of course sexual side effects. If you have especially high anxiety, your doctor most certainly will prefer the use of SSRI + TCA from some of the above solutions.


Can I take wellbutrin to offset sexual side effects of lexapro?

You can try it, although the full 300mg dose of wellbutrin is likely what's needed it if wil work for you. The 150mg doesn't seem to do much for anyone. I tried wellbutrin with just about every ssri out there, in different combinations and dosages but in three years I haven't found anything that significantly offsets the sexual side effects of ssris. Unfortunately, I think that if you're prone to the sexual s/e's of ssri there is nothing you can do about it - other than to stop taking them. It really sucks because I really liked lexapro but in the end had to choose between stress/irritability and the sex.
