How Can Low Libido Be Treated?

Hi my husband is taking Pristiq 150mg for the past 4 months to treat depression and post-traumatic choc sybdrome and it has killed his sex drive and his emotions, so his psychiatist has added welbutrin 3 weeks ago. How long should it take before he can see some improvement ?

Hello Dear
I evaluated your query thoroughly .
@ Pristiq 150 has desirable side effect on loss of orgasm
@ Welbutrin also has documented side effect of loss of sex drive
@ There is a big question regarding adding of Welbutrin with Pristiq for
improvement of low libido , because these 2 molecules are not going to
improve his libido , on the reverse they are going to more hamper his
existing sex drives with time
@ Suggest to discuss deeply the issue with the Psychiatrist & get the
solution .
Hope this will definitely help you .
Feel free to ask any further health related query in future anytime .
Thanks for using Health care magic .
