Being on Bupropion improves my PSSD

Unread post by ihatelexapro444 »

at least to 80-90% and it's consistent, also extreme libido. At first it felt like it worsened PSSD, due to some action at the 5Ht1A receptor, but over 2 weeks, I'm not sure what it did, but I began to be able to orgasm at about 80-90%, and extreme libido, I mean masturbating more than 3 times a day. 150 mg XL. When I made a post about stimulant curing me, yes it did but there was still windows where it didn't, bupropion daily dosage seems to fix it.

Awesome. How long have you been off SSRIs before you took Wellbutrin? Which SSRI caused your PSSD?
Last pill March 2019 - Citalopram for 7 years
Numbed penis and weak orgasm
Fatigue
Slightly blunted
Dizziness (this has improved a lot in the last 6 months)

I wish it did this for me. I've tried at least 4 times over the years, but could only last a few days. The side effects, and intrusive thoughts were too much. It's crazy because I've done a few different gene therapy tests, and both said I would respond best to Bupropion.

What dose did you start at, how long did it take before you started feeling the positive effects?

started at 150 mg xl, still at 150 mg xl, you need to keep going and not stop, i also had intense anxiety, constipation, instrusive thoughts, paranoia, rapid heart beat in the first week or few days, and the pssd was worse, but after 2-3 weeks, all side effects gone and my pssd cured. Also it's not even in its full effect yet until 1 month in or more.
I also quit once because i couldn't bare it, but second time i told myself to push through and it's worth it.

Glad you’ve found some relief! Just to clarify, do you still take bupropion?
