I have gotten mine back, after almost a year with no desire for sex - Sometimes I'd for weeks without even masturbating.
Then, for some reason, I woke up one morning feeling better.....over 3 days the anxiety and depression lessend, and my interest in things (including sex) started to come back
No idea why - nothing had changed, my meds were the same, my living arrangements were the same, my job was the same, mylife circumstannces were the same etc, it just happend. Having said that, I'm not at the point where I was before i had my breakdown by a long shot, but atleast I can feel attraction, enjoy intimate contact, feel sexualy aroused and perform in the sack, and enjoy it.
I'd definatly try Parnate by it self, and if that doesnt get you there, Parnate + Welbutrin.
Dont write any drug off in combination just because it didnt get you where you needed to be singulaly, there is such a thing as a threshold effect, - think of it like Excedrin, it consists of 250mg acetaminophen, 250mg aspirin, and 65mg of caffeine, which when considered singularly are weak analgesics, but when all three are taken together, they form probably the best headache pill out there.
The same might well be true of (say ) regular Parnate and Welbutrin with PRN pramipexole..... or some other such combination
It might also be that you're putting your self under a lot of pressure over this, which might be contributing to some sort of vicious circle - I think I might have been in that cycle, continualy beating my self up for not being "normal" which of course made it even less likely that I would get back to normal.
