Combination treatmen: Yes, i commonly use Lexapro and wellbutrin (bupropion) together just for this purpose. I suggest she go see her doctor and ask about this.

Yes: Lexapro is ssri and can affect sex drive and cause delayed ejaculation..While wellbutrin (bupropion) can increase sex drive , therefore, it is not unusual to be given together to reduce the sexual side effect.
