In reply to Which MAOI?, posted by Ilene on January 31, 2004, at 9:52:25
> I took my last tricyclic (desipramine) today. I'm entering the drug washout period. Then I will start an MAOI. Which one should I take? I think choices in the US are limited to Nardil and Parnate. Thoughts:
>
> Parnate seems to have fewer SEs, but it's stimulating, and I've acquired a sensitivity to stimulants. I even have to seriously limit my coffee intake.
>
> Psychobabblers have complained that the "new" Nardil is less effective than the old stuff.
>
> My blood pressure falls under certain circumstances. I think Nardil is more likely to cause hypotension. On the other hand, I have script for Florinef (causes salt retention) and I was okay with the desipramine.
>
> SSRIs caused anorgasmia. Desipramine less so.

> Thanks in advance,
> I.Have your tried adding Serzone, Remeron or Wellbutrin to reverse SSRI induced anorgasmia?
