I had the same problems that you're having with Paxill. It seems like all SSRIs seem to bring this problem. I tried to add Wellbutrin too and didn't seem to have any luck. It may have worked a little more if had given it more time but, I don't know for sure. I hope that your doctor can help you find a solution to this problem.

Sorry nearly forgot I too have had a hysterectomy .You must go back on hormone replacement therapy you do need it, you will not know yourself ,that is your problem! not the antidepressants.I went off them when there was that scare about them,was not interested in sex hair dull,  tired all the time went back on them and I came back with a vengeance.
So go back on them now and you will have a wonderful holiday ! also get some vitamins your husband will need them.lol.

I have to say that in my case they definitely do not affect my libido.I have found the mind is the most powerful organ in the body! but if you think that....it will make it so.
If you were hypnotised to think it was a powerful aphrodisiac guess what.

I was told that before I went onto  antidepressants by a friend,  some friend ! so I convinced myself that they were sex pills as well...... it worked.

Just as one additional piece of advice, I would give the Wellbutrin another week or two before you dismiss it.

Antidepressents have a strong negative effect on libidos, male or female. The only way to accept meds that have that effect is to compare the benefits against this ******* awful effect. Those that prescribe meds. often have a flippant attitude to the complaint. Of course they don't take the meds they supply. The more you worry about it..... you get the picture? My belief is that females are quicker to complain about the problem. When I told a Psych. about it he remarked, '' You were not sufficiently aroused'' ~ what a wonderfully stupid/unhelpful comment. Have been on many AD's etc & all seem to have this downside. Not tried Viagra, have no intentions to either. An uderstanding partner's the best answer found so far. I'm old now,but it doesn't mean I'm already dead As a younger man I'd have found it a suicide inducing effect!. Hope you find a solution. Love & patience will be the only help you can get. perhaps?I'd be very interested if you find the solution. Best wishes. George
