I started Trivastal without much hope, because a med hailed and recommended by many for hypoactive sexual desire didn’t do anything for me in the past. That was Wellbutrin.Well, I began taking Trivastal Retard on 6th of November this year. There were some ups and downs in libido during the first week, but after a week, I really began to garner the best from this med. A heightened libido plus sense of being well. (not euphoria BTW)
But when I pointed my reaction in this forum, some scared the hell out of me warning the effects could possibly be a hypomanic reaction. I stopped Trivastal altogether not experimenting more.
Sadly, my symptoms returned. I descended again to the stubborn anhedonia. Things deteriorated in the department of sex. It was hardly bearable when I know the solution is there in my medicine cabinet. I started Trivastal again.
Now, going up to 100mg after a week I dare recommend this med to all who experience low libido- hypoactive sexual desire disorder. The effects are so striking..
This is definitely not hypomania. Never can it be because; I lack most of the symptoms of hypomania. I don’t space out, don’t have floating ideas or increased energy. All I experience is a recovery from anhedonia plus a huge hike in libido. Not to say increased sexual fantasies as well.

I hope so. I think I remember you saying you did, but I just thought I'd ask directly. Focus/attention is probably one of my most troubling problems along with the anhedonia and social avoidance.
Thanks. Really appreciate your posts.

Helps tremendously in that department. Not surprisingly for a mix of dopamine and noradrenaline.Glad, I don't have anxiety issues with TRIV. I found top note of TRIV is increase in anxiety, but middle and bottom note are pleasant anxiolysis with a bit of stimulation.
cheers

Great to hear that it helps with focus/concentration as well as not causing you increased anxiety. Are you prone to anxiety problems or is that something you rarely have to worry about anyway? I'm wondering if it would cause more anxiety in someone like me because I already have anxiety issues.

Hi clipper,
I am prone to anxiety. Might be because of a faulty dopamine system. Now it has been corrected and I am calm.
BTW, I take a small dose of Amisulpride 25mg to help with anxiety and it is doing well.See my current cocktail:
Prozac 20mg every other day for panic.
Provigil 300mg for alertness
Trivastal Retard 50mg at noon and same amount at night.
Amisulpride 25 mg in the morning for anxiety.Neurontin 300 mg in the morning and same at night. Helps me sleep and fairly effective to ease Provigil "low"s.
Cheers

Hi,
I see you have plenty of help with anxiety - not only the Amisulpride but also Prozac and Neurontin.
Good to know that Trivastal helps with this alsoClipper
