> > Which MAO's don't have sexual side effects?
All ADs can have sexual side effects - it depends on your neuro-chemistry and how much you are taking. The incident is lower for MAOIs - some of them very low. It is a percentage thing - some people can take high doses of Paxil and have no problems - we are all different - and our neuro-chemistry is probably more varied than the way we look.
There is no shortcut for trying a med for 6 weeks and see if it works as an AD without sex side effects. The choice of the first MAOI to try would be based on your symptoms - some MAOIs are more stimulating than others. There are diet restrictions.
