Wellbutrin SR sexual side effects?!


Question: Wellbutrin SR sexual side effects!?
i know that SSRI's like prozac and zoloft can cause a decrease in sexual desire, also they are used as a treatment for premature ejaculation as they delay orgasm!. What does wellbutrin do!? ive read that it doesnt have any dampering effects on sexual function, but can even be used to enhance sex!. SO does wellbutrin then lead to premature ejaculation, hypersexuality!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
This is a bit simplified but I hope this helps!. Dopamine is an important brain chemical involved in sexual function!. Drugs like viagra enhance dopamine's effects and improve erectile function!. SSRIs alter serotonin but also affect dopamine in the brain and this is thought to be why they affect sexual function!. Wellbutrin (chemical name Bupropion) is a different class of chemical that has less negative effects on dopamine and it is thought that this is why it is associated with less sexual dysfunction!. I have looked through some of the scientific and drug company literature and I can't find any evidence or descriptions of wellbutrin causing hypersexuality or premature ejaculation!. There have been quite a few studies done!. Some studies in people with sexual dysfunction found a trend towards improved ejaculatory performance on bupropion, as you suggest but it does not appear to have been reported as a side effect!. That is not to say it is not possible!. HTHWww@Answer-Health@Com

Wellbutrin doesn't have any sexual dysfunction like the SSRI's or the SNRI's do!. I have not read anything about causing Premature ejaculation, or hypersexuality!. But if the drug does it's job to improve depression symptoms (such as lose of interest, fatigue!. Dpression can also lead to sex problems) the person may have greater interest in sex or other pleasurable activities!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Unless Wellbutrin is an SSRI, I don't think it will have the same side effects!. Zoloft, Prozac and the other SSRIs can decrease sex drive and erection quality!.!.!.and also delay ejaculation

The reason that SSRIs help people last longer during sex are that they increase Serotonin levels!. It appears that low serotonin can trigger premature ejaculation

I used wellbutrin to stop smoking!. Yeah, it does enhance sex quite a bit!. I never found it to affect premature ejaculation, but then again, I don't have that problem!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
