I am not a doctor but I did find this interesting. On Wikipedia, when talking about SSRI and sexual dysfuntion it says:
"Stimulation of postsynaptic 5-HT2 and 5-HT3 receptors decreases dopamine release from the substantia nigra. A number of drugs are not associated with sexual side-effects (bupropion, mirtazapine (Remeron), maprotiline (Ludiomil), [31][32] (some of these are also not associated with weight gain). As a result, sexual dysfunction caused by SSRIs can sometimes be mitigated by several different drugs. These include: bupropion (norepinephrine and dopamine reuptake inhibitor) buspirone (serotonin receptor agonist) cyproheptadine (5-HT2 antagonist) methylphenidate (stimulant) mirtazapine (noradrenergic and specific serotonergic antidepressant (NaSSA)) amphetamine (stimulant) amantadine (antiviral drug) pramipexole (dopamine agonist) and ropinirole (dopamine agonist)" I could be wrong but it seems to me that a dopamine agonist would actually make the sexual problems worse. Although SSRIs are indeed known to cause sexual problems; in fact they are commonly used to treat premature ejaculation, I would also look into other meds that you may be taking in combination with the SSRI.
