Has anyone had any experience with taking Celexa and Wellbutrin together? I have been taking 20mg of Celexa for about a month and it seems to be helping the depression (although I still don't want to get out of bed in the morning; once I'm up and going I'm fine). I am having a couple of side effects (of course!) - insomnia (probably why I don't want to get out of bed in the morning!) and the inability to orgasm. I'm going to try meditation for the insomnia and I have tried ginko for the other and it seems to help somewhat but not enough, sex is still frustrating. I saw the doctor today and she has prescribed 100mg(?) Wellbutrin along with the Celexa. She thinks this will help with the sexual side effects. Has anyone had any experience with this? What do I need to know about the Wellbutrin? We may drop the Celexa if I still have problems.
(If background info helps - I am a 32 year old woman and have battled depression since I was a teenager. Prozac at low doses -no side effects - worked for years until recently. My boyfriend and I have always had a great sex life, so this has been a little upsetting, to say the least)
