Something affecting dopamine seems like it would be most promising, as Nardil downregulates the dopaminergic system.

It's amazing to me how little (never) we hear of people using Amantandine or Bromocriptine at this board. It seems like whenever I do a search on topics like SSRI sexual dysfunction, apathy, augmentation strategies, etc. those two drugs keep coming up over and over again. Several responders in "tips" concerning sexual dysfunction and/or apathy recommend amantadine or bromocriptine. I don't know why no one's actually using them here. Maybe they're just off the beaten path with mainstream doctors. Even my very experienced pdoc has never used them. He quickly brushed me off and changed the subject when I started mentioning those drugs. There's so much encouraging literature about them. I don't understand.
