So, I saw my doctor today. He stated that he would be willing to put me back on Wellbutrin again, but only if I had an EEG (to see if it really was a seizure)...which would take...more than a month. So, he put me on Cymbalta 60 mg. I've never heard of it before, has anyone? Does anyone know about the sexual side effects? Blahhh. So, now I'm on Cymbalta 60 mg and Adderall XR 40mg with Trazodone 50mg for sleeping....anyone else try the two together?

No, I haven't. Most antidepressants come with some sexual side effects though. How it will affect would be different from how it would affect me. I tried Cymbalta once and it was ok. I wasn't taking it with Adderall though. There should be no interaction.

No, in fact one may help the other drug have optimal effectiveness, both drugs effect norepinephrine.

The SSRI I take for depression (Prozac) has not affected me sexually. Or anyone I know who's taking it.
Not sure if Cymbalta is an SSRI.
I hear Wellbutrin is good for people who don't want any sexual side effects from an anti-depressant. Never tried it.

How is the Trazodone working for you? Easy to go to sleep on it? And stay asleep all night?
Is it an anti anxiety med like Xanax for example? Or just a sleeping pill?
