Some people find Wellbutrin works for PN pain. It works on dopamine primarily which does not have the well known connection for the serotonin central system the brain uses in pain perception. Increasing dopamine may improve attitude and confidence and make pain issues less prominent for some people.

But it is true that Wellbutrin does not affect sexual functioning as much as the other types do. Some people with sensitive cardiac functions may get a type of palpitations from Wellbutrin... but not all. Dopamine is a stimulant for the heart under some circumstances.

You'll just have to try it and see.
