Wellbutrin/Bupropion anf female sex drive

My girlfriend has been living with depression and anxiety for as long as she can remember and since we've been together, I've done what I can to turn things around for her. Around January, her psychiatrist started her on Prozac and, to me, it seemed like a complete 180. She started to have friends and became more outgoing and things were really good.

Unfortunately, her sex drive died within the first few weeks so her psychiatrist took her off of Prozac and put her on wellbutrin twice a day (not the sustained release one). Her sex drive was back but the Wellbutrin was not as effective as the Prozac and she couldn't take the pressures of school and almost dropped out and her period lasted way too long (11 days). Needless to say, the psychiatrist put her on Lexapro (her insurance changed so Lexapro became cheaper than Prozac).

I think that the reason the wellbutrin didn't work so well was because she was coming off of the Prozac and she was going through withdrawal symptoms from smoking (I read that the Wellbutrin is used as a way to quit smoking). She's going to speak with her doctor in a few weeks but I was wondering if she were to take the Wellbutrin in conjunction with her Lexapro, would she have the same reaction to it or not.
