effexor and wellbutrin....Yikes!

Posted by bman on October 8, 2002, at 10:12:38

Well...here is the deal. I have been on effexor since about April of this year and have been taking 300mg. I like effexor and I was feeling great on it. However, I have the common side effect of delayed or not able to reach orgasm. So...I thought I would just taper of effexor all together...well I got down to 37.5mg a day, and I did that for about a week before stopping all together. Well...after stopping I had the common withdraw symptoms...felt like crap and all that....so I went back to 75mg a day, and felt normal the next day. Well...now I am on the 75mg of effexor and 150mg twice daily of wellbutrin. I guess the doc was thinking that the wellbutrin would counter act the effects of effexor. Well...now my problem is worse! Now I seem to have an impotence problem...something I have never had in my life...not even while on the full dose of effexor. Well...needless to say I don't know if I still have the problem reaching climax because I can't get to the point to try. Well...I am stopping the wellbutrin...I like my first problem better than the one I have now. So...my questions...are...Can I just stop wellburtin cold turkey after only taking it for about a week? Is impotence a common problem with the combination of effexor and wellbutrin? How long will it take for the wellburtin to be out of my system, where I will be back to the pre-wellbutrin state?

thanks!
