Hello.An antidepressant drug with inhibitory effect of appetite and few
adverse effects on sexual sphere is Bupropion. Say you, however, that at the beginning of treatment,anxiety is a common adverse effect and must be used combined with anxiolytics drugs such as Lorazepam or Alprazolam.
I wish you good health.
