i searched the site to see if anyone else had posted about this, but didn't find anything.
i started taking wellbutrin for depression about 4 yrs ago. it really helped. but here's the interesting thing - or at least the part that's relevant here.
i had given up crossdressing for about 8 yrs prior to starting on that drug. pretty soon after beginning it, i started dressing again, and felt less depressed. i should really say not depressed at all anymore. i'm afraid to stop taking wellbutrin now. i don't want to go back to feeling the way i felt before . . . and i don't want to stop dressing.
so, did i start dressing because i wasn't depressed any more? or did i get depressed because i stopped dressing? i don't know
if you read the literature or see the ads for wellbutrin, they use the phrase a low risk of sexual side-effects. in one of the ads, a woman says i think it's nice that wellbutrin has a low risk of sexual side-effects -- with this sly smile! seems that wellbutrin, unlike most antidepressants, can increase the sex-drive sometimes! so i think that's their way of using the warning as a sales pitch.
i'm really happy to be me again, that is being a girl! i'm ok with being a boy sometimes, but part of me was missing and i feel more whole now. i'm a little uncomfortable, however, about being drug-dependent.
anyone else taking wellbutrin? anyone else have a similar experience? or any comments at all - all are welcome!
