I'm on 70mg of Vyvanse. Stimulants don't do anything for what I've got... oddly enough, when I ocassionally would cram in an all-nighter and take a little extra Dexedrine when I was prescribed that, it use to get me quite, well, not high, but a flight of ideas... I haven't had thatr ever since I accidentially took 1000mg of Effexor. It like it burst some brain cell or something. I also sometimes got hypersexuality on higher doses of amphetamine, but now, I get no sexual interest whatsoever.
I tried 200mg of Trazodone, and it does nothing, if anything, it reduces sensitivity down there, but yet I get a morning erection (but not at 100mg). Odd.
I hope Aricept basically acts to repair my brain. It seemed to have that effect last time I took it, only in the sense that I could, after several months while on it and not doing any all-nighters, remember being able to do an all-nighter spendidly, without any pain in my head, and my paper was coherent...
so it eems to have, for the months I took it, restored my dopamine stores. I wouldn't get anhedonia and feel like I was in a coma when I didn't take amphetamine when I had Aricept, and even a few months after being off Aricept.
> dopamine sure seems to be involved in libido. I take zoloft and wellbutrin and that combo seems to spare my sexual function. Ive tried a few other SSRIs and this is the best so far in that regard.
> Hes right about amphetamine releasing more dopamine. tried any of the other stims like dexamphetamine or methylphenidate? might be a little heavier on dopamine than noradrenaline.
