Hi butterfly,
Is your anxiety ok now on just the Effexor and Xanax prn? Or is your doctor just trying to replace the Wellbutrin for the Zoloft?
If the answer to the first question is yes, Im wondering why the doctor hasnt advised more on dietary intake program to counteract the weight gain. And in all honesty I have never heard of any SSRI that enhances the sex drive.
Im extremely mediphobic too, especially with prescription medicine. I guess since the only OTC med I take is Aleve for headaches. Given the circumstances that you are mediphobic, if your doctor is using this as a means of a diet pill, something that might cause you more anxiety after you take that first pill, and thus putting yourself in a panicked state. I would look at other means to lose weight. The sex drive will come back, not overnight, from ceasing the Zoloft.
