I've been on Wellbutrin and Paxil together for a little over a year now, mostly because my pdoc wanted to get me on Wellburtrin and off of Paxil b/c the Paxil side effects were getting to me. When you are consciously aware that you haven't had a sex drive for over a year, the "sexual side effects" apply to you. I have been progressively weaning off of Paxil although we've need to fill in the void of the antianxiety component of Paxil. I'm on 400 mg/day of Wellbutrin and down to 5 mg of Paxil, but Effexor has replaced Paxil. I feel pretty good right now. I intend to continue to wean off of Paxil entirely (another six months should do it) and stay on the Wellbutrin and Effexor for awhile. Not everyone experiences the same side effects or withdrawl problems, but Paxil has not been my favorate drug.
