Talk to pdoc, about why you don't want to increase the meds.
I am going to mention that tomorrow in therapy. My PNP once mentioned wellbutrin in combination with lexipro to decrease the sexual side effects. I wonder if effexor would be good for me. I HATE to screw around with the meds. But I like sex and I dont like that I feel like Id rather sleep....which I dont do so well on lexipro anyway.

Onlymedid- Youre funny! That has happened to me. My husband likes it when I want a lot of sex. He does, too.

I was once offered symbyax instead of lexipro, but I chose the lexipro. I wonder if symbyax does the same thing?
