Is it common for Wellbutrin to eliminate the sexual side effects of other anxiety meds while increasing them?

I was on Cymbalta and Adderall for my OCD and ADD, I had an abolished ability to become sexually aroused, so I had my doctor add Wellbutrin to the mix and after a couple of days I seem more calmer in general. Is it supposed to turn around the sex side effects of the Cymbalta?
Answer:
Yes,Doctors are using anti depressants/ anti anxiety drugs to help combat erectile dysfunction and other forms of sexual dysfunction. Cymbalta is an SSRI selective seretonin release inhibitor which can promote sexual dysfunction. Wellbutryn acts on other neurotansmitters, dopamine and norepinephrine, i believe, which can counteract some of the effects. Some medications like cymbalta are now being used in erectile problems like premature ejaculation, interestingly enough.Good luck to you, glad you're doing better
