This is a darn frustrating situation. I think the only way to find out for sure is a trial. It's a darn shame, because I can be nearly 100% well with Adrafinil+Amisulpride, but sexual difficulties makes the whole deal stink.

I stopped Amisulpride a week ago, just to see if it was the one causing sexual probs. After four days, sexual function returned almost to normal. Adrafinil alone is somewhat guilty as well, though Amisulpride seems to be the main culprit. But depression is creeping back in. My wife says she can tell a big difference, because I walk different, talk very little, spend little time on hobbies that would othewise keep me very busy, and have a 'certain' expression on my face that advertises depression. Strange how others noticed before I did. Even my neighbor commented to my wife that I haven't been dabbling in my backyard garden. That's a dead giveaway. I normally spend hours in my fruit gardens and get a lot of pleasure out of it. Lately it seems so remote and I could care less about it. And at work I have no motivation. Everything is an effort. Even the simplest of tasks are starting to look overwhelming.

So, I know what works but I lose my sex life. What a cruel tradeoff. My options at this point are confusing. Do I try increasing Adrafinil alone? Do I stop it completely and just do Amisulpride? And then when the sexual probs kick in (about week 2), start Bromocriptine? Start Amisulpride and Bromocriptine at the same time? Damn damn damn. Decisions decisions. One thing for sure, I can feel the spiral down gathering strength, and I gotta do something. And I know from past experience my doctors have been rather fruitless at helping much.

I wish I could just forget it all, like a bad nightmare, and wish it away. I wish I could be like most of my doctor's patients, and take Prozac or Zoloft and be well. Of course, I've spent the last 10 years going those traditional routes with little success. Nothing has compared to the effectiveness of Adrafinil+Amisulpride combo. Geez.
