I have a friend who had sexual dysfunction that persisted after going off SSRIs. He thought his life was ruined until his psychiatrist prescribed methylphenidate (Ritalin) and later dextroamphetamine. He said that restored all his energy, eliminated his depression and his libido was higher than ever before.
He's been on it for two years and still feels energetic and with good libido. I thought amphetamines would poop out with long term use, but he says it is still working.
Some doctors have had luck with ropinirole (Requip) or pramipexole (Mirapex). Requip is far more sedating or drowsiness-inducing though.
diazepam (Valium) 5mg QID
tianeptine (Stablon) 12.5mg TID
Light therapy 3 hours/day
GNC Ultra Mega Gold vitamin supplement, BIDDx: panic disorder, MDD (unipolar, melancholia), perfectionist
