Patient concerns

I am not addicted to anything. I suffer from depression, sorrow, mentally sad, premature ejaculation. I am prescribed Bupron XL150 once daily. Will it work? Should I need counselling? My wife 30 years of age has been taking Nexito Plus for 1 year. She lacks sexual interest. Now she is prescribed Mirtaz7.5 which is not suiting her at all. She is also mentally sad & depressed. I have sexual desire. But I ejaculate quickly. I'm taking Tentex Royal once daily. Does she need to take anything to boost up sexual desire? Taking Miraz 7.5 she is too sleepy & drowsy. Now she is not taking anything.
