Thinking about asking my Dr. if I could try this for a libido boost.....thoughts?
Dopamine potentiator and reuptake inhibitor. Great for breaking reward-based habits (like smoking, drugs, etc.) but can also potentiate habits to be formed if you are not careful.dsade-
my dr. was thinking of giving it to me for ADD among other things. Mind sharing why you think it's such a great drug? I'm interested in learning about it.
Dopamine potentiator and reuptake inhibitor. Great for breaking reward-based habits (like smoking, drugs, etc.) but can also potentiate habits to be formed if you are not careful.
It has anti-depressant and mood-enhancement qualities, helps increase alertness, helps one lose weight, and other favourable properties.
Works great with some stims.
Effexor is not a stim. I mean something that affects catecholamines (green tea, caffeine, tyrosine, etc.)What stims? You mean like effexor? Even effexor makes me sleepy.
Boosts libido for me...as well as amplifying intensity.wellbutrin is an antidepressant with a lower tendancy for sexual sides, although they can still be present, I wouldn't ever use it for a libido booster, maybe to help you feel better, but not about sexy time
I am not being treated for either. I just want something to help me feel motivated as well as the libido/CNS enhancement. The things that fit this catagory that I have found OTC are:Are you being treated for depression or high blood pressure?
Wellbutrin is one of the most effective pharmaceuticals for several different afflictions I have ever used. Great stuff.
What stims? You mean like effexor? Even effexor makes me sleepy.
Whatever it was, it was the smallest dose...37.5 or some odd number like that.they don't make a 25mg xr
When I got my Androgel fix it took over 6 months for my head to clear of depression.I have depression and have taken almost every drug and drug combo out there. I have fought depression and bi-polar for over 15 years. I totaly disagree that Wellbuterin is a libido stim. It has the lowest % of sexual side effects of any depression med. It reduces the potential of getting ED or having low libido but I dont beleive it increases it in any way.
I really cant beleive a aDr. would scribe it for low sex drive. Check hormones doc. I'll bet that is the issue for the libido issue. If your depressed, Wellbutrin is a clean drug (make sure you dont have any siezure issues). Stay far away from old meds. Prozac, Paxil etc.
If you f-ed in the head I dealt with it, taken it, done that and doing it again. I was at the point of electo thearapy or buying a 38 mag.
I'm on TRT and depression is best it has ever been.
Make sure yourcorndog-
First of all, thanks. I have suffered from some depression and much anxiety over the years.
That said, since I have started androgel about a week ago, I feel better already and have halved my celexa to 10 mgs a day.
I also have some inattentive ADD (no hyperactivity) and don't respond really well to the stimulants (ritalin, concerta, adderal/XR).
My primary goal would be for focus/ADD, especially if TRT continues to aleviate the anxiety/depression.
I guarantee you that I have suffered from Major Depressive Disorder for years now...and I am sharing my experience of what works.dsade
I can appreciate your opinions on treatment for dep. But OTC meds will never help with a person with major depression. Those are great starts for people who get dep from time to time or get the "BLUES"
People like me who on days cant even get out of bed. I have a great life, great job, the best kids in the world and there are days I cant feels anything and nothing makes me feel anything. I should be the happiest person in the world but when dep hits look out my family goes on suicide watch
Since starting test-e my life is better than it has been since 1989. Now if I can only deal with my temper and anger.
Hence why I recommended strong hormone and thyroid support.August 11
Started IM test-e & switched to Armour Thyroid = best I felt in years.
:goodpost:Atypical depression is EXTREMELY complicated. Some things that help:
Wellbutrin/Tyrosine combo...to support health Dopaminergic function
TRT/DHEA/Pregnenolone/6-OXO...to support "healthy" hormone levels.
Thyroid support...to ensure energy usage is abundant and fatigue does not disable your ability to function
Something like ZMT with melatonin...to support healthy serotonin levels, crucial minerals, and provide for sounds sleep.
Adreneric support (support health adrenaline/noradrenaline function)
Thought process manipulation/control/visualization
EDIT: Forgot cortisol control
I fell a million times better on TRT. I never have to worry about ups and downs again. I just had to face reality and My HPTA was not going to recover. Just so you know, HCG IS NOT natural and will cause HPTA shutdown and if you are doing HCG then you mind as well go on TRT. I would rather stay on TRT then try to swim up stream with Nolva and trash my liver.So your on TRT for life **** that cuz, Do some DD ive never given up i too had the operation to correct my nuts my test is **** but i know i can up my test levels with nolva or hcg i have proof of blood tests but not done anything since op its been 8 weeks now, Look at the proof you can be a real man without TRT i am going to do this in the next few weeks my test levels now ar 8.9nmol my sex drive is ****ed and my hard on is more like a floppy sasauge i am never going to give up no way i want my **** hard by natral means cuz, even if it kills me i have wood when im buried,,,,,good luck,,,
Résumé / Abstract
The authors treated 135 men who underwent varicocelectomy, but had sustained Leydig cell dysfunction disclosed by LHRH test with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). hCG was administered for 10 weeks : 50,000 units were given in 10 divided doses intramuscularly. Semen analysis and measurement of serum hormone level were obtained 8 weeks after the completion of treatment, and every 3 months after that. All patients were followed up for 2 years to confirm pregnancy. Fifty-five percent of patients achieved pregnancy and they showed significant increase in sperm density, percentage of sperm motility, normal form sperm, and serum testosterone level. It is recommended that hCG be administered to patients who undergo varicocelectomy but have persistent subtle Leydig cell dysfunction disclosed by LHRH test to stimulate the intratesticular testosterone production.
I don't mind small nuts that much because I've got a Vasectomy anyway and who cares how big my nuts are because my d*** is big thanks to TRT. So, I look at it like thisYou did not read the post properly its a 10 week course = no more test , Well good luck on your test for the rest of your life how big are your nutz now ? what you going to do when they get to peanut size ? Dont give up cuz ,I have a tone of sustanol the doc gives me every month and ive take none of it last resort or worst case sinario and my balls get too big they go bang ;-))))))))))))))
I would go with Arimidex for gynoSonthink i picked up from another board docs are trying to get this guys nut working again using hcg,

Doc tested LH, FLH, Prolactim, HGH, etc and its all normal. For some reason, the test in my body is still low...since im so young hes trying HCG to "boost" my test a while, then slowly bring me off HCG and see if body backs it back up and kicks in normal. If not, ill go to Test.
Still didnt mention anything about athletic enhancement? Maybe I should take Nolva then with this for gyno?
You are right. I started this thread because I have heard many good things about Wellbutrin. I will just stick to L-Tyrosine for dopamine support.In my opinion Anti-depresants are the worst drugs in the world. Whether its a dopamine agonist or an SSRI, they are just not something I think that helps anyone. They do more harm than good.
Hey bro no need to get all butt hurt at t-bone. He was just giving his opinion and was not personally attacking you.Are you a diagosed depressed person, do you have major depression and bi-polar. If not what the f#ck do you know. Please tell me your information in regards to anti-dep. meds being the worst thing in the world isnt from tv news and newpapers.
If so, well you must hate TRT treatment and be against it 100%. Most tv, newpaper, magazines, and new shows (60 minutes, 20/20) slam TRT treatment.
I went off meds and almost commited suicide and or hospitalized to protect me from killing myself. My sister was forced of from her anti-dep. because she lost he insurance and it took the govn. 2 months to give her the ok to get them thru the state as long as she participated in organized dep. meetings. Well 3 days before sh got her pills she blew her head off. So, unless you take the meds and are diagnosed with major dep. and or bi-polar shut the f@ck up.
Your OTC stuff might be ok for people who feel blue from time to time but supplements are just that supplements.
Im sorry to hear about your losses, and your own troubles. I too have been on anti-d's, including lexapro and wellbutrin, thus my replies earlier in the thread.Are you a diagosed depressed person, do you have major depression and bi-polar. If not what the f#ck do you know. Please tell me your information in regards to anti-dep. meds being the worst thing in the world isnt from tv news and newpapers.
