Currently on 150 mg of Nortriptyline and 1.5 mg of clonazepam (just added .5 mg). I mention dopamine due to decreased libido over the past years or so. My (pre-risperidone) testosterone levels checked out, and I have reasons to doubt it's due to the meds. I'm also looking a dopamine because I think I've had a similar experience with lithium a while back, which apparently also blocks dopamine.

Keep in mind I've only recently started considering dopamine as a factor in my present condition.
