In reply to Wellbutrin, Aricept for sexual dysfunction?, posted by novelagent on June 14, 2012, at 0:08:56
I had a doc who claimed Wellbutrin only worked on sexual dysfunction by increasing dopamine, and told me it would be pointless to try it if I was having problems still while on amphetamine, because "amphetamine increases dopamine 100 times more than Wellbutrin." I was wondering if Wellbutrin does more than just increase dopamine-- maybe it alters the way the dopamine manifests itself somehow?
Wellbutrin effects noradrenaline more than dopamine, this is why It's sometimes causes anxiety who already have anxiety disorders...wellbutrin is not strong like Focalin or Cocaine in reinforcement of significant increase of DA, it doesnt provide the psychostimulant effect all the way but it will bring the mood into better dopamine in feeling back to doing regular actives that depression causes to lower intrest in..It's a mild stimulant in my terms because it does activate areas that are low, though much less potent than amphtamine. 450mg is about roughly 5mg of adderall in activating terms, above 450 to higher doses it no longer continues to act like a psychostimulant, it has bigger risks of causing sieuzres, I've had a sieuzre on wellbutrin and didnt know it, until I read about it. Something that would be alot of better than wellbutrin that no longer around is Cylert, its diffrent.
Try L-Tyrosine....GNC, other nutri stores. Take about 3000mg and it will increase sexual desire.
I am not a scholar but I do understand distress.
Medications:
Prozac 60mg
Zyprexa 20mg
Lamictal 50mg
Clonodine .1mg X 3
Nuvigil 250mg
