I used to be on Prozac - it was a saviour in terms of a deep depression I sank into. But, wow, did it kill my libido - which was depressing in itself!

I tried Wellbutrin too - and it was great! But it sort of stopped being effective and I didn't want to increase the dosage so I elected to go off of it. It may be worth a try for you. If the Prozac does work for your depression, what many docs will do is lower the Prozac dose and add the Wellbutrin - so that the sexual side effects MIGHT go away.

Another thing to look into is the older medications for depression - tricyclics and such - which can work very well for some people. Some of them cause drowsiness, so you take them at night - which is a plus for sleep trouble.
