It's really not known for causing sexual side effects. It is selective for blockading norepinephrine reuptake, not serotonin, and it also blockades serotonin 2A receptors, which are the same ones atypical psychotics blockade in order to release dopamine. I actually found nortriptyline to be one of the more pro-sexual drugs I have tried. It did cause me excessive sedation, but I believe this is atypical and related to an unusual dopamine autoreceptor problem I may have.Todd
