Is an increased sex-drive while on Wellbutrin a common side-effect? Reading all this stuff about Wellbutrin and increased libidos makes me think it's some sort of Viagra. Anybody who doesn't have this side-effect?

Wouldn't call it viagra, however, wellbutrin seems to have the least sexual side effects . . . and I've tried nearly every drug of its kind. Not only does it reinstate one's libido, but it also helps for quitting smoking. Used to smoke a lot, now I can't stomach the taste or smell.
Just wondering how you reacted to quitting smoking with Wellbutrin. Did it make you sick to smoke, etc. What effects did you have when you smoked while on Wellbutrin?
I have to say in my experience taking Wellbutrin, it definitely increasing your sex drive or at least brings it to the level of normal. I have taken most of all the SSRIs and my sex drive had been lowered taking them. Wellbutrin is different in that you have the desire again. I have trouble dealing with the side effects of Wellbutrin myself, unrelated to the sex drive, such as anxiety and nausea, emotional, etc.
Definitely jump-started my libido.
