If you have: Atypical depressive sxs - wellbutrin (bupropion) can be helpful. Discuss your libido issues with your prescribing provider. Take care.

Sexual Side effects: I understand your concern. If you are feeling improvement in depression, discuss with your psychiatrist to decrease dose of lexapro (escitalopram). Take Lexapro (escitalopram) after the meal. Wellbutrin has much less sexual side effects.
