Starting Zoloft

I was given a prescription for Zoloft a few weeks ago and just started taking it yesterday. I also have a prescription for Buproprion and starting taking that again as well. I thought that buproprion would help me keep my sex drive but, the Zoloft has already started to kill it. I also feel very weird. I feel kind of anxious and like I'm falling back into a very depressed state. When I take the buproprion by it self I usually feel very anxious but, when I take it with other SSRIs I feel more balanced. Like when I took it with Paxill. Has anyone out there had any problems with Zoloft as far as anxiety issues? I've accepted that almost all antidepressants will kill my sex drive so I accept that. I'll try it by itself without the buproprion and see if maybe that's what's making me feel so weird but, I have pretty bad anxiety too and take 1mg of clonezepam daily and my doctor told me that Zoloft will help with anxiety. I just started at 25mg daily of zoloft and after 4 weeks I'm supposed to have worked up to 100mg. Just trying to get some Ideas. Could it just be the Buproprion that's causing all the bad effects?

First of all you must never start two drugs at the same time because when you do so you can't identify which drug is causing a problem.

Wellbutrin will help your libido. If there is a drug you want to try alone that will help both depression and sex drive it's the Wellburtrin, not the Zoloft.
