"its mechanism of action is only partly understood. It has been widely described as a weak norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor."
"is a non-competitive antagonist of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors"
Bupropion (Wellbutrin, Zyban ...) is a typical antidote used by psychiatrists to counteract the sexual side effects of SSRIs.
have you tried it? what results you got?
---------------------------------------------------
My experience: I took it (with name Elontril) for some months, prescribed by my psychiatrist, for PSSD. Apparently, it did not give me any side effects nor antidepressant. When I, after a first half to 150 mg per day, I increased the dose to 300 mg, I have seen a significant improvement, which lasted for a few days only. I would have said a return of my sexuality to about 70%! for a couple of days I had again the ability to feel aroused and I masturbated 10 times in a day easily. However, in a few days the effect is decreased, and then disappear altogether.
Current situation: I do not took it for several more months, and I can not in any way feel horny, I difficultly have weak sensations of clitoral arousal. I have an active sex life. I believe that if I were a man I would not have an erection. I, despite NO sexual arousal and NO real pleasure, I can still reach orgasm with masturbation. But it is really very frustrating, I say forced, and NOT fulfilling.
It makes sense if I try to take 150 mg of bupropion before sexual intercourse? how long before sex is ideal?
