Have any of you added amantadine to an SSRI to reverse sexual side effects? If so, did you notice whether it enhanced the antidepressant effect? Also, did it ease sleepiness? I need my antidepressant, but it makes me very sleepy. Nothing feels better than taking a nap, but that is unfortunately frowned upon at work.

I am currently taking amantadine 200mg in the hopes that it will augment imipramine 300mg + Zoloft 200mg. Zoloft totally killed my libido. So far, after one week, I have not noticed any improvement in either libido or depression.

You say that your depression has not gotten better, but has it become worse? That is a side effect that really scares me. It is strange--can a drug that causes depression in a lot of people also lift depression in other people? I guess the obvious answer is yes, easily arrived at by simply reading the posts in this forum. But I don't understand it.

Provigil is good for giving energy. It also has no side effects at all for most people.
