Encouraging exercise and generally healthy behavior (sleeping, eating, stress management) can dramatically change testosterone levels for some men, to get your body desired. Healthy eating and exercise can help wives with their body image, which has many indirect effects on sexual desire.
Hormone replacement therapy can be effective with certain women and men in alleviating some of the physical problems that indirectly affect sexual enjoyment and desire, as well as boosting desire. Despite recent media reports, however, adding testosterone or other hormones is not a “quick fix” for most people and has potentially damaging side affects.
In general, when possible, it is best to adjust the dosage or change the medication rather than add another one to off-set the side effect of the first drug. With drugs that decrease affect desire, however, adding an adjunctive agent may be possible in many cases. Concern should be given to the possibility of additional side effects or drug interactions. The following are possible adjunctive agents to the drugs：
•A low dose of bupropion (Wellbutrin), 75 milligrams once or twice a day can be added to counter the SSRI (antidepressants) side effects.
•Cyproheptadine (Periactin) can be taken in doses of 4 to 12 milligrams, one to two hours prior to intercourse.
•Dopamine-stimulating drugs and psychostimulants Amantadine (Symmetrel) (100 to 200 milligrams once a day), Usuride, Bromocriptine (Parlodel), Dextroam-phetamine (Dexedrine), and Methylphenidate (Ritalin) have all been used with varying success.
