I too am taking amantadine as a hopeful sexual antidote for my Celexa. I started by adding WB to appease my doctor, and it served as a nice adjunct to Celexa cognitively, but I don't think it did a whole lot sexually. When I first tried amantadine, I noticed it made me zoney, slow, dopey, etc., and somewhat anxious. I don't think I would want to take it on a daily basis as suggested due to these effects. So I basically take it if I'm out on the prowl. It helps me a little in terms of sexual interest/aggressiveness, but it also intensifies any liquor I've been drinking.
Unfortunately, the last time I was on Celexa, I discovered the only thing to really bring my sex drive back was a dopamine monsoon from cocaine or crystal meth. I'd love to find a happy medium. I tried to suggest a psychostim to my pdoc, but he said "no way not with your street drug history."
I tried to explain to him that only did the street drugs to bring back my sex drive, not because I love stimulants so much.
Oh well.
