I hope that someone may be help me with or give me some insight.

A few months ago, my girlfriend broke up with me. We were stationed together in Germany, I rotated back to the States in May and she had to stay in Germany until this coming summer. I had always planned to marry this girl, but when I left: a) I could not really afford the ring I wanted, b)I was not quite ready to propose and c) I wanted to wait and propose on a mountain in Alps on a winter ski that we had planned on taking in December. Leaving without making something definite was the beginning of the end of our relationship and slowly things fell apart. My perfect "plan" was not the right plan for her and now the joy that we shared is over.

I had a very difficult time adapting to this loss and finally sought counseling for feeling so sad, lonely and depressed. The doc prescribed Wellbutrin as a way to help moderate my depressive emotions. I can say that this has helped. I still think about my ex, but I realize that maybe it was not meant to be and to go on with my life. It is hard to describe the change with the medication, but I am looking up instead of looking down.

Recently, I met a really great girl that is very incredible. She enjoys life to the fullest, tries her hand at just about anything fitness related and fills me with true joy. We like to make love like we are teenagers, but with the added benefit that we know what we are doing!

My problem..... I have always been able to last a very long time with making love and have prided my self on doing everything to pleasure a woman in every way that I can. However, lately I have not been able to reach orgasm. Everything feels great, I achieve and maintain an erection with no problem, but getting to the point of no return and a cum-filled, spurting orgasm is evading me. Wellbutrin is touted as having a lower incident of sexual side effects (others cause decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, etc). It may cause delayed ejaculation.

I am planning on talking to the doc about this side effect, but I am worried that she might grill me about "jumping into another bed." My ex and I have been apart for 8 months with only a couple visits in the meantime, so I am not really doing anything hasty. I feel like myself around my new girl and we both make each other feel totally loved. I talked to her about what I have found on the interet and she understands. I guess that this problem is much better than cumming to soon and leaving her without any pleasure, but she really wants me to feel good and not become frustrated.

I don't want to enter that depressive state of mind again, but I want to feel and perform naturally.

Thanks for hearing me and any insight you may have.

A trip to see the doc is definately in order. While the medication may have a low amount of sexual side effects, it still has some. It reacts differently to different people. Your doctor just may have something to offset this side effect.
Can you masturbate to climax? If so, you may need to get back into some counseling and try to figure this out.

Good luck to you and keep looking up.
 
The drug is ment to be temporary. If things have turned around, I'd expect you would be tapered off of it...
 
All of them list sexual side effects, both increase and decrease in libido. You could shop different drugs, but I'd consider reducing the dose first as this isn't meant to be a long term solution for you.

Let your doctor know what you decide to try before you do it.

Many people report things change when they change drugs, and some come back to one drug again and get different effects the second time. You can find someone for who a particular drug works very well, but there are patterens in the reports.

Play the odds until you learn how your body works with different drugs. An experienced provider can often have a good idea of how you will respond before you do, expecialy after you've tried a couple of different drugs.

Several have gone generic now, and it might be worth trying them first just because of the costs if you have no other reason to choose a particular one. Ask you insurance for their preferred drug list, which almost always has a realtive cost value with each item.

Or the pharmist; in many states they have to tell you prices up front or by request, and in some they have to post prices of some common drugs.
