Why do people take well butin with ssris is it to help libido?

Ans: There can be different reasons for Wellbutrin (bupropion) - SSRI combo. These meds target symptoms of depression which can include the symptom of low libido.

A typical example: I am not a medical doctor, but a psychologist who has had hundreds of patients struggle with these issues. Sometimes SSRI medications can adversely affect libido. In those cases, a trial of Wellbutrin (bupropion) in addition to the SSRI (if there has been symptom improvement) or to replace it can further help with depression but also improve libido. Best to you in your search for answers and good health.
