> 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!

> 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?
>Hi Jas,
thank you for your post. I asked my doc about Klonopin, and she said it's very sedating. If so, it's not for me, cause I naturally have very little energy. How do you feel on it, are you energetic?
I never heard about Pregabalin, I'll do some research, thank you.
