Could Wellbutrin be used to treat sexual disfunction related symptoms as a result of menopause ?

Hi Anon!

Thank you for your question about Wellbutrin! This is a tough question to answer as it is two-fold. One theory is that women who are depressed and take Prozac and Zoloft (SSRI-type medications which are known to interfere with sexual desire) could be experiencing sexual dysfunction because of the medication they are taking. So if a woman is taking one of these SSRI medications and then switches to Wellbutrin, the result is a possible increase in sexual desire.

Secondly, if a woman is depressed, she might not have a strong libido. Taking Wellbutrin and treating the depression, might make the woman feel better and thus she has a heightened interest in sex.

Anon, from the information I have researched, I can't suggest that Wellbutrin is a medication that specifically is described to 'treat' sexual dysfunction in menopausal women. I'll have to do more research on this topic to see if I can find a more concrete answer.

Did this help so far Anon?

Best,
