Antidepressant

I've been trying antidepressants for my low mood, irritability, and periods of crying.  Lexapro works well but couldn't handle the sexual sideffects.  Now on Wellbutrin no sexual side effects but I feel more irritable and angry.  I liked the calm patient mood I had on lexapro.  What should I try now?

Wellbutrin is a stimulating AD, you should let your prescribing doctor know how you are feeling....he/she would want to know.  He may want to add an anxiety medication to help with the edginess since this is working so well for you in every other way.  Often it is trial and error as to which medication will work best for us, as frustrating as it is, once we find the right one it's well worth it!  Call your doctor and go from there, he will know what to do.  Hope this helps and I wish you all the best!

I am using Zoloft. I have not felt any side effects yet. However, I am also using diazepam for the anxiety.
