First, SSRI sexual dysfunction is totally reversible after the med is stopped. If people have persistant sexual dysfunction after being off SSRI it is either their depression or a physiology abnormality causing the dysfunction. Second, please don't get caught up in the serotonin-dopamine-norepinephrine game ... scientists don't know crap about the brain and even less about how these drugs work. Third, deprenyl usually requires doses in the range of 30 to 40 mg to relieve depression, at non selective maoi range .... so you will need the diet/drug restrictions.
Lastly, I admire your assertiveness .... never let that go. Always be proactive and keep educated.

P.S. I probably would try desipramine next ... but hey you never know what is going to work for each individual.
