Tiredness, Loss Of Sex Drive, Jittery Feeling,. On Ciprelex, Wellbutin. Why Does This Happen?
WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM TAKING CIPRELEX AND WELLBUTIN TOGETHER. i HAVE BEEN ON CIPRELEX 20MG FOR OVER 2 MONTHS NOW AND I FEEL GOOD BUT TIRED AND NO SEX DRIVE. MY DOCTOR IS PUTTING ME ON WELLBUTIN JUST ONCE IN THE MORNING ALONG WITH THE CIPRELEX. I HAVE READ THAT EVERYONE FEELS GITTERY AND EDGY. WILL THAT HAPPEN TO ME AS WELL
I have gone through your available history. Cipralex contains escitalopram which is potent anti depressant drug. It may cause fatigue or decrease sexual drive or gitteriness but these side effects may not be present in all patients. So you may or may not have edginess or jitteriness.
You should consult your psychiatrist regarding your complains. Doctor may reduce the dose of cipralex or may add some other agents like mirtazepine or bupropion like drugs which have lesser effect of sexual function.
Thanks.
