I have been coming across many studies on Pubmed showing that Abilify can work for ED. In fact, hypersexuality is listed as a possible side effect. A few studies have shown Abilify + bromocriptine (dopamine agonist) works excellent for ED. I am presuming the partial dopamine agonist activity of Abilify is responsible for this. So...I am on a quest..an experiment...with 10mg of Abilify and, hoping to taper, up to 10mg of bromocriptine. I am on 2.5mg of bromo right now..my pdoc won't let me start at 10mg.
A couple of questions...1) Would higher dose Abilify work better for ED? (i.e. 30mg?) 2) Does the dopamine agonism of Abilify eventually downregulate the dopamine receptors? 3) What would be the best SRI to augment with for a bit more antidepressant qualities, while the bromo and Abilify address the ED problem? I am thinking low dose Prozac or Zoloft.
Thanks for your help... :)
