My two cents, I don't like any of those ideas. They scare me. Why? It is too hard to get to where you are, and too easy to mess it up and never get back to where you were.
What about some simpler things? Ritalin a couple hours before sex. That hits dopamine pretty hard, and only temporary for your needs. Viagra. Yeah, for women it can do the same for men, wake things up down there. If someone else here knows of a short-lived 5ht2 blocker/antagonist, that would be a decent option too.
Go to askapatient.com and revolutionhealth.com and read the reviews of what patients who have used mirapex have to say about it. It ranks very poorly and has some scary bizarre behaviors that happen quite frequently. It looks good on paper. The real world, I dunno. If your doctor has a lot of experience with it in at least 50 different patients, well, maybe.
I would in no way change your current doses. Yes, I am empathetic for the sex troubles, but I am ten times more empathetic for the emotional stability you have. That is so important and easily lost when you go mess with a good thing.
