Sorry, I missed your post from earlier.
Just wanted to mention that when I tried antidepressants they prevented me from experiencing the "runner's high" that seems to help my mood. I think the sex drive and the runner's high are similar brain chemicals.
I have heard that Wellbutrin has fewer sexual side effects, so I have wondered if I might be able to experience the runner's high while taking Wellbutrin.
I'm not suggesting you change your medication of course. Some people never experience a runner's high. I've heard most competitive athletes don't experience a runner's high, because it's a job to them and they push themselves too hard.
