Impotence is a common side effect of antidepressants in men. Wellbutrin is supposed to have fewer sexual side effects, but I haven't seen that to be the case. But, everyone is different.

I have found the various ED (Viagra, Cialis etc) drugs to be helpful. They are expensive, but they do work. Take them an hour or two beforehand, you'll never notice. I didn't say this, but if you Google "generic Viagra" you will find alternative sources. It's kind of scary, but I have had pretty good luck so far.

You need to understand where your husband is... at. (woah... That was close ! lol). Even with a supportive, understanding, caring partner it really undercuts a man's self image. Its very, very discouraging! The closest I can think of for a woman would be having a mastectomy. Quite demoralizing.

Talk to your hubby about these things. You didn't say, but exercise and therapy are essential. Drugs by themselves won't do it. That said, the proper drug therapy is also a necessary part of treatment. I hope things work out for you.
