I just went through this with Cymbalta. I feel you.
>5-HT1A autoreceptors have diminished to the point that my serotonin is crowding out my dopamine
I don't think that would be the case, but something clearly isn't right.
Rather than focusing on specific receptors, you might have more success attacking the problem more broadly.
The NIH states that yohimbine hydrochloride is the standardized form of yohimbine that is available as a prescription medicine in the United States, and that it has been shown in human studies to be effective in the treatment of male erectile dysfunction. Yohimbine has been shown to be effective in the treatment of orgasmic dysfunction in men. Yohimbine has also been used to treat hypoactive sexual desire disorder (under active libido) in women and men.
Alongside Yohimbe, I would recommend Myrapex to augment it and if you really want those 5ht1a receptors, I'd recommend Buspar or Pindolol. I wouldn't do another antidepressant or atypical antipsychotic simply because they will have action on other serotonin receptors.
HOWEVER, I might mention that Abilify has been shown to improve libido.
