> My sexual dysfunction in my case is not a symptom of depression.
> I didn’t take any antidepressants for 6 months and I had good sex. Unfortunately the depression came back. Still I had good sex, but very suffered mentally, so I had to go back to prozac.
> I am 32 female and my sex hormones are all ok.
> I have a depression that is mixed with restlessness agitation and sort of anxiety so I am afraid to take zyban cause when I tried adronex it was awful and weizmna said I am not suit to things that increase the noradrenalin.I tried Edronax, it was worse than anything I could imagine. Zyban is good. I had that for about a year with no side effects. It's worth a try. Edronax is aweul for itself, it's not Noradrenaline per se. It effects peripheral noradrenergic receptors and that does so many side effects...
> I tried serzonil and it was awful.
Ye I did try it for some time and it was. I'm now trying it again at a higher dose and it seems better.
> I don’t like weizman cause he sits with me 20 minutes and take 700NisThat's a well known problem with him. He is the most knwoledgable I know. We enjoy having long psychopharmacology talks and the guy remembers all top journal citations 2 years back. I consider myself good at that but he overtakes me (-:
> Can you recommend me someone good as Weizman in the knowledge in psychopharmacology but who sits more time and more devoting himself?
I think Dr. Shaul Schreiber from Ichilov (now the psychiatric department manager) is OK. I talked to him once or twice, he's nice and seems to know quite a bit.
> I want someone who will escort me while I am trying dopmine agonists because I am afraid they will aggravate my reslessness or make me confuse.
I guess so. Try Zyban first (family physician, you know) before wasting money on anyone else... Don't touch them until you've tried Zyban for 3 months or so. You have nothing to worry. It is VERY well tolerated.
> Alse I would like to ask what is your opinion about ssri deplete dopamine? Wiezman say ssri don’t deplete dopmine.
I guess he is right, but that doesn't suggest that SSRIs don't cause some numbing which comes from stimulating 5-HT2 receptors which in turn down regulates some dopamine receptors at the same areas of the brain. The brain is more complicated than "increases dopamine, depletes dopamine"... It depends where, at what receptors and to what extent (-:
Report back anyway, I'm eager to hear...
