I have this unfortunately. I am feeling better on my 20mg of Fluoxetine and this is the only lasting side effect that I have.
I am interested to know if anyone has been prescribed Viagra for this, maybe on private prescription.

Hi Fruit, is that Welbutrin? Yes I guess anything like this would have to be on private prescription.

It has been tried with some good effects. Asked my Gp bout Welbutrin and she had not even heard of it.

I am suffering from this too

Its a real pain isn't it. Just when I feel like I might want to get my sex life back on track and you get this.
I am going to pluck up the courage to ask my GP about the Viagra. There is something they prescribe women who have gone through an early menopause due to surgery but as with every thing the doctors in the NHS have to follow all their prescribing guidelines. blah blah blah

Kind of old, but Wellbutrin goes by Bupropion in the UK. Or Zyban/ Champix (sp?). Mainly used to help stop smoking here in the UK. I was on it while in the US for my bipolar (along with Trileptal and something to help me sleep as needed). Moved to the UK and found it was not prescribed for those uses. Have now been yoyoing trying all these other meds for the last 6 years on and off (2 pregnancies during that time). I liked Wellbutrin as I didn't gain weight and it didn't affect my sex drive. On Paroxetine for now, but have gained 50lbs on it and having really bad Paraesthesia (pins and needles, in my feet and mainly handds.)
