Mark,
I chose Nardil over Parnate because I read quite a bit that it was considered better for social phobia (although like cybercafe said, many consider it to have more side effects). I actually decreased the dose of the beta blocker I take (Lopressor) for hypertension because of it's blood pressure lowering characteristic- no major dizziness or anything like that though.
For me the sexual effects are similar to Prozac or Paxil. Decreased Libidio and more time taking to reach orgasm. It definately has an antidepressant effect as well as helping the social anxiety. Some people report getting almost a "buzz" from Nardil. Personally, I haven't experienced that. What I noticed especially is increased motivation. I'm much more likely to get off my rump to do something. I suppose that may fit in with the anxiety angle, but actually feeling like doing something is saying something also.
