Wellbutrin has the opposite effect. It makes you feel 15 years old again.

  That’s because Wellbrutin is an NDRI (norepinephrine–dopamine reuptake inhibitor). It’s a stimulant. It’s actually a third-line medication for ADHD and is sometimes used with other medications to counteract the sexual side-effects of other medications.

  One thing I find super interesting is how that side effect is pretty inconsistent even in the same person. I’m currently on Wellbutrin/Zyban/Bupropion as a smoking cessation aid and am not having that side effect this time. But last time I was on it for the same reason… oooooohhhhh boy, yeah, it’s a good thing that I had a partner who was good with that!

    It’s possible some of the variation is from the specific manufacturer or manufacturing process. In the case of Wellbutrin XL, generic brands have even been recalled due to not being bioequivalent (https://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=165718 https://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=1...) I have been told by a doctor that effects appear inconsistent across brands or places of manufacture, even with non-recalled generics. You should always consult with your own medical professionals about your medication, but you can often ask for a different generic at the pharmacy.
