Dopamine does not cause 'full day fatigue feeling' it might cause insomnia, but so is your disease. Regarding erection problem, some of these medications may occasionally cause it, but if such happens - factors first to consider is your age (don't know), comorbidities (other diseases), body weight (over weight) etc.
