A member asked:
List different dopamine boosting medications for depression that don't cause erectile dysfunction or drowsiness and are compatible with moclobemide.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, SIR!: The common 1st-line antidepressants are serotonin & norepinephrine modulators. Dopaminergic agents are usually reserved for psychotic disorders or as 2nd-line agents for refractory depression. And they don't "boost" dopamine, they actually BLOCK dopamine. Dopamine "boosters" are used for Parkinson's disease, & they can CAUSE psychosis. You have a bit of reading up to do.
