I have been considering trying one of the dopamine-affecting drugs to counteract sexual side effects of desipramine. I'm on Wellbutrin to stay awake in the day, but it has no other effect on me. The dopamine drugs I know of are (I think): Ritalin, amphetamines, Wellbutrin, Parlodel (bromocriptine), other Parkinson's drugs, Adrafinil, Amisulpride, and Provigil (modafinil). I think those are the dopamine drugs. Which one(s) will counteract the sexual side effects of ADs without "pooping out"? I don't know the reputation of all these drugs. By the way, a drug called "Survector" (amineptine) and at least one other drug are dopamine drugs not available in the U.S. Is it legal to get a drug like that from overseas? I'm confused about getting drugs from other countries in general. Please share any knowledge or thoughts you have on this.

In reply to Dopamine drugs for sexual side probs, which good?, posted by PhoenixGirl on January 8, 2001, at 13:48:29
Hi Phoenix,
Amineptine is discontinued, so forget that one. Of all the others you mentioned, I personally believe either Ritalin or Adderall would be your best bets. And you could take them as needed a few hours before sex, rather than taking them all the time. That's how some doctors prescribe them for sexual dysfunction. Personally I found the following to not be helpful: Adrafinil, Modafinil, Parlodel.Ritalin gives me a quick boost of sexual desire, but ironically makes it difficult to get an erection...not a problem for you. :-) Adderall boosts both desire and ability about 3 hours after dosing. The problem is that it wears off slowly and disturbs my sleep significantly.
