So, I'd suggest hanging in there a couple more weeks to see how the Wellbutrin levels off for you.EricJ: If Wellbutrin increases sexual arousal--why is it not prescribed as an intermittent augmentation to drugs that have adverse sexual side effects (like Celexa?) Why not take W for one day a week or as often as desired? Why is Periactin prescribed this way and not Wellbutrin?

> Something you said, though, has me concerned... am I right in understanding that you believe your doctor offered sexual services to you or made a sexual/romantic advance?Yes, you are right.
> If that is the case, and the next time you see him you get the same impression, I would immediately change to another physician. While the great majority of physicians and therapists would NEVER put a patient or client in that position, unfortunately there are those who do. If you are uncomfortable in the situation, you have a right to change, regardless of whether you are "reading into" or "correctly reading" his actions.

> Also, do you have a therapist you can talk to?No, but I wish I did have someone I could talk to.
>Take care of yourself - and remember, you have the power to make a change in this situation if you need to.Thanks for the reminder and encouragement.
