I have Anxiety and Panic Disorder with Agoraphobia. I have been on a combination of medications for this condition for about 12 years. I take Prozac (80mg) and Klonopin once a day.

Because Prozac takes away one's libido, my psychopharmacologist suggested I decrease my prozac and add wellbutrin. We did it progressively and I must say, I was the old "Red Hot Mama" I used to be. But I started having more anxiety. I had to weigh the quality of life with panic attacks along with the increase in my libido. I chose to go back on Prozac and leave the wellbutrin alone.

But, now that I'm LCing, I'm getting my libido back. I'm really excited (I didn't mean it like that, but hey). But remember, and this is important, AS YOU LOSE WEIGHT, HAVE YOUR DOCTOR REEVALUATE YOUR DOSAGES. I'm finding that I need less of many of the meds I was taking before this first 40 pound loss. Maybe one day I'll be able to get by on baby doses or none at all.

Good luck.
