I am taking Cymbalta 60mg and it’s killing my sex life. Are there any suggestions besides Wellbutrin that can help?
Antidepressants that don’t decrease libido and cause sexual dysfunction?

Only about 0.1-1% users of both Cymbalta and Wellbutrin will potentially have sexual side effects whereas SSRI antidepressants range from 1-10% or more. Prozac and Zoloft are thought to be less likely to cause this type of side effect. The tricyclics are in the 1-10% range. The MAOI's are least likely but come with a load of dietary restrictions.
Talk to your doctor about options. Sometimes deceasing the dose of the medication is helpful. Some doctors even recommend trying Viagra.
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful but maybe the stats will give you some information. Good luck!
