> Has anybody tried this? It's a DRI (dopamine reuptake inhibitor), also an anti-viral--brought to mind by this flu season! I read about it as a possible counter to SSRI-induced anorgasmia. Also, in boosting dopamine, it might work as an anti-anhedonic. Didn't use it long enough myself to know.
Good questions. I would like to know more about Amantadine too. I had a good response to Ritalin (TOO good, abusive) and have wondered about trying Amantadine instead of another stimulant. Anhedonia is my primary symptom. Amantadine would seem, at least in theory, to be good for anhedonia as well SSRI sexual dysfunction. I think I'll run this by my pdoc this week, since I have to talk to him anyway about replacing the Ritalin. JohnL
