Hi Q
>I've taken SSRIs on and off for about 7 years
How old are you Q? 24?
>Have you tried dopamine agonists to treat the low libido Ed or does it not bother you?
No, I haven't. The low libido doesn't bother me that much but I would prefer to have a normal libido. I don't think any doc in the UK would be willing to prescribe a dopamine agonist for me.
>I had success with Solian (an unexpected bonus), but I wonder if the elevated prolactin level it often causes may cause sexual dysfunction itself long term?
Loss of libido is common with Solian. I definitely think it could be a problem.
>I would like to try cabergoline, but how do you rate my chances with a pdoc hostile to all possible euphoriants in the UK?
Cabergoline is unlikely to be euphoric, but I still don't think your pdoc would prescribe it. AFAIK, off label use of dopamine agonists is almost unheard of in the UK. Cabergoline is also very expensive, which is a big issue in the cost-conscious NHS :(
>I think bromocriptine, and the antihistamine cyproheptadine have also been used successfully to treat SSRI sexual dysfuction?
Apparantly so. Cyproheptadine can cause a lot of drowsiness though. I have taken cypro myself and can tell you that there is no way I could ever have sex after taking a cypro!
Take care
Ed
