Hi Colleen,

That's great that you are seeing improvements and the side effects

are wearing off. I've heard of wellbutrin taking quite a long time

to have a full effect.

Vornan, didn't you say you were on TRT? If you're taking testosterone

then maybe your estradiol has gotten too high. I started .5mg of

arimidex after coming off TRT, got my estradiol down to 15, and

started getting erections right and left.

Also if you're on TRT, your testosterone will be too high and

overstimulate your sympathetic nervous system. But to become sexually

aroused you need to stimulate the parasympathetic. So I recommend

quitting TRT. And since you now have dopamine to support your natural

testosterone, maybe try Clomid again.
