Hi Rotem!
Well, I in the academics, and knowledge about psychopharmacology is poor in Israel. Weizman is not bad, and he does use dopamine agonists.
As for the problem itself - I am facing this too. A recent review (J Clin Psych, Feb 2002, S1) states that all ADs are likely to cause sexual dysfunction, BUT:
1) Serzonil does that far less often
2) Zyban (not in the health basket, 700NIS a month I guess) is even likely to improve sex drive.All the "shtikim" of adding dopamine agonists, Remeron, Sorbon, Tesolpamed Forte (yohimbine), Viagra and the like are UNLIKELY to help.
Also, sexual dysfunction is a symptom of depression. Even when the mood improves and anxiety goes away, sexual dysfunction sometimes stays.
Though, I really see Serzonil/Zyban as good options for you. Especially Zyban.
You might also have endocrine problems. How old are you ? Did you measure sex hormones in your blood ? Any disorders with Estradiol (E2), Progesterone and especially low Free/Bioavailable Testsoterone ruins sex drive.
I still prefer to chat on this forum...
