Well it's not exactly correct to say I've never
even tried anything--I've been trying different
things for the past 10 months...I've been trying
different AD's, but I haven't tried a lot of
_tweaking_ with the AD's. And even that's not
entirely true--I've tried cyphrodetamine (I know
I'm not spelling that right, but it's the drug
that supposed to have the antihistamine effect).
I've also tried L-arginine, and inadvertently tried
augmenting prozac with wellbutrin while weaning
off prozac to switch to wellbutrin. Tried Ginko.
I guess I was just wondering if you'd seen any
trend in your practice. It seems from my layman's
research
(reading posts on this issue a couple of hours a
day) that there's a group of people that do great
on wellbutrin and serzone type drugs, and then
another group who do awful on those drugs, and
much better on the SSRI's (I'm in that camp unfortunately)
and I was just wondering if maybe pharmacologists
or psychiatrists have noticed that certain sexual
antidotes tend to be more successful with the
people who do well on SSRI's. Like maybe we have
similar brain chemistry or something, so maybe
the cure for the sexual dysfunction would be
similar too. Obviously, I'm not at all medically or
clinically knowledgeable, heck I don't know.
Sounds like all I can do is just randomly try
different stuff and hope something will eventually
work.
And try not to go nuts in the meantime.I hope I'm not annoying everybody with harping on
this subject.
