Hi:
I agree that Moclobemide can affect libido & orgasms. It happened to me too.
I have recently tapered off moclobemide after an 8 week trial. At 300mg I felt alright, some headache and nausea, but no effect on my GAD + depressive symptoms. At 600mg I had NO libido, NO energy (but less GAD) TERRIBLE headaches and continual nausea. So I lowered the dose, but still had all the side effects, including the lost libido. Even back down to 300mg I had the side effects, but less severe.
I've tried, Remeron, Buspar and Effexor, but the ONLY drug that has helped me, is Klonopin. My psych doesn't really like it (Grrrrrr!) but continues to prescribe it for me. I only take 1mg per day (in 2 doses). I had come off Klonopin prior to trying Moclob. and I believe that worsened my symptoms and caused depression to also happen.
Have your tried Klonopin (Clonazepam)?
Good luck!
Jas
PS I'm waiting for Pregabalin to become available in Canada... I believe it will be the perfect answer! Can you get it where you are?
