Hey everyone.
I'm not an expert with drugs. but I was hoping to get a little of your help(neurologist don't know exactly what I got, so I assume that the advanced forum is the right forum for me). moreover, English is not my mother language, so I'm sorry if I got some mistakes.
long story shot (as much as I can):
I was depressed 2 years ago because of a break up(for a few months). I wasn't that depressed in my life. (didn't do drugs though).
one day, I was going out with a friend of mine and I drank a lot of alcohol. nothing that I didn't do before, but I got some weird symptoms afterwards. I got muscle fasciculations(involuntary but small muscle twitches) all over my body up to this day. a little while after the onset of the fasciaulations, I tried to look for what could be the cause of this symptom, and found out that ALS (Steven Hawking has it). I got really depressed and anxious because I thought I got ALS. after visiting a few neurologists(which all said that I don't have ALS), one practitioner gave me cipralex for my depression and anxiety problems. I took it for 2 weeks I think and stopped. I noticed that my tactile acuity has got impaired during that time. It's not that i don't feel anything on my skin, it's just that I feel everything but the sensation is dull compared to what it used to be. I used to be very sensitive on my skin and now I'm not
. This problem affects my sex life, I enjoy sex but my performance was worsened and my orgasms aren't as enjoyable as they used to be a few years ago. I have done some research on my own and found out that a Dopamine Deficiency may cause some of these symptoms. I also found out that Bupropion (Wellbutrin) may increase dopamine levels (or something like that) and maybe help with my symptoms of lower tactile acuity and depression. (I'm not saying that I got dopamine deficiency, if think about other things, please do say.)
What is your opinion about that? can Bupropion help me? any other suggestions or directions?
Thanks a lot for you help, I appreciate it.
