This is old, but my observation may help someone.

Wellbutrin did this for me...I could taste things fully for the first time in forever. It made a HUGE difference in how much I could taste. Without it, I can barely detect some flavors. They are "muffled" at best.

I lost my habit eating? It controlled urges. The things that I would impulsively do, I had more control over. That covered, snacks, and sunflower seeds (my drug of choice).

It's like the highways to the taste buds weren't clogged anymore, the nudges from impulses was manageable, and it has helped with mental acuity somewhat to, which is the big hope for me with it.

It's sometimes used for weight loss and stop smoking, I understand. I can see why that would work, lessen the urge to smoke as an "urge", same with weight loss.

bye.

I recently read online that "Bupropion" (or "Wellbutrin") was shown in a number of studies to be effective for neuropathic pain relief without the sexual side effects of Cymbalta.

It was also shown to be useful in weight loss as a nice side effect.

Can anyone who is knowledgable about this drug share their knowledge. Could this drug actually be an effective replacement for Cymbalta without the sexual side effects?

I know that it is not an "SNRI" like Cymbalta, so I was surprised to read that it may be effective for treating neuropathic pain as opposed to depression alone.

Many thanks!

I have PN in my feet and I use cymbalta, and I was wondering why this was happening to me. Forget a delayed orgasm, it's more like none at all. I thought it was the neurontin, because it kept the nerves from firing, and it was possibly doing it to my sex organ too. But it's probably the cymbalta. Brutal. How about losing an erection in the middle of the act - I almost got smacked because of that happening. Frustrating is right. Makes you wonder whether you should keep asking females out at all.
