What I meant was that even when people have taken dopamine agonists,

5HTP, dopamine reuptake inhibitors, even though their libido has shot

up, they still find it difficult to get voluntary erections.

The reason I belive this is caused is that there are interferences with

the muscarinic recptors, which control various things such as muscles,

locomation, aspects of the heart etc.

I believe that it is possible that such disturbabces could lead to

constipation, inability to cry, sore muscles, difficulty getting an

erection (especially wehn standing up).

It could also be possible that there are disturbances in other

locomotive transporters.

I think that possibly with a bit of work we could come up with

something that would work a bit better. I think you need to deal with

the dopamine and serotonin problems, otherwise you will feel like shit

and not be able to have orgasms.

On the other hand, I think we equally need to think about looking at

other medications that effect locamotive aspects. I think I have good

reasons for at least suspecting that this is a problem because of my

experiences with sleep deprivation/amphetamines/MDMA.

I am sorry to hear about your T levels, hope everthing goes ok.
