John,
Please let me know how taking away the amisulpride affects you (i.e. lessened sexual side effects). I’m trying to track peoples’ responses to amisulpride. Amisulpride washes out of me in about 4 days.
Did you experience anxiety with yohimbine? For your information, yohimbine and Viagra can be combined very effectively using a full dose of yohimbine and a half or a quarter of the usual Viagra dose.
Reboxetine gives me sexual side effects. I think Michael said Adrafinil was giving him sexual side effects. So I certainly wouldn’t be surprised if Adrafinil is giving you sexual side effects. If you observe any ‘puckering’ of the gentalia, that is definately the adrafinil. This is due to alpha 1 adrenergic agonism, the same action that causes urinary hesitancy.
From all I have read, it seems Modafinil lacks these sexual side effects. I am still wondering whether Modafinil is as efficacious though as reboxetine and Adrafinil for arousal and motivation, let alone mood.
As strange as it sounds, many CFIDS patients use naphazoline eye drops, often with very good results, for mental and physical arousal. It is an alpha adrenergic agonist like Adrafinil and may have a similar effect. The eye drops, as do other adrenergic agonists, cause vasoconstriction, thereby getting the red out of the eyes. Onset is rapid, Since the half life is short, they must be applied 3 or 4 times a day. I would think that by skipping a dose a person could avoid any sexual side effects they may cause. I just ordered some from globaldrugs.com of Canada. It is cheap and doesn’t require an Rx, at least in Canada.
