Has anyone added Wellbutrin or Provigil now that they're on Lexapro?

Question

I'm on Lexapro. Great for depression, but it has hurt my motivation at work and sex drive. I've heard that adding Wellbutrin and/or Provigil can help. Has anyone tried either of these along with an antidepressant? How did they work?

I am on Wellbutrin, Lexapro, and Lamictal. My sex drive was fine until I started the Lexapro. I'm not sure if adding Wellbutrin will help because Lexapro does of a high risk of decreasing the ability to have an orgasm. I talked to my Dr. and he told me I didn't need to take my Lexapro on the morning of sex. Yes, that means I have to plan it if I want to c**. And I can't want to have sex everyday so I'm not taking the Lexapro. Talk to your Dr. to see if this may be possible for you, maybe add Wellbutrin for back up. It may be embarrassing, but Dr.s really have heard it all. Good luck.
