> As of a few days ago, my 120mg/day Parnate (which I switched back to because I thought Nardil was causing my sex problems, only to find out that now it HAS to be the buprenorphine--process of elimination) has been sliding; a while ago it was working OK for social phobia and poorly for depression. Now, I am sliding into depression. I want to leave the house to get some things done and/or go to the gym, but I am afraid to. I haven't felt like this in so long this is scaring the hell out of me, on top of the uncertainty regarding my sexual function. What if its not any of the drugs at all!??

> Yesterday, I spuriously decided to take Nardil instead of Parnate. Then my g/f told me that was a bad idea because I didn't talk to my doctor. So I switched back. So I know that may be causing some of this, but man, I've missed 2-3 days of a n AD in the past and neverh ad a reaction like this!
> She also equates Nardil with my not being able to have sex or complete the act, but in reality I think it is just as much or more suboxone doing that now. She keeps telling me that I do not have to worry, but I am so scared of her leaving me over this. I dont know how many times one person iss upposed to take someoneo having a breakdown or going to the hospital, or not being able to get it up...and I shudder to think where in the world I would be but for her. I am so scared.

> Well at least I have an appt with the dr. that prsecribes the buprenorphine on thurs and I will try to have him take blood and see if he can find out wtf is going on here.

> I think I made a HUGE mistake droping Nardil; previous to switching I was doing the best I everh ad in my entire life. Ugh, I dont even know what I'm saying anymore, but I guess I just felt like talking to some people who have a chance of understanding this.

> At least my parents are being nice to me for a change; of course, the tears streaming down my face at dinnertime for seemingly no reason probably have something to do with that.C_M
I think you ought to go back to your Nardil. You were so happy posting here while on it and the buprenorphine.
As for the sexual dysfunction, was that worse than what you are going through now? There are other ways to make sure your girlfriend is happy. Anorgasmia is a b*tch I know, but I'd raher have that than misery.
It's your posts here that have made me think Nardil is probably the next med I need to try. Do what will save your life and give you a life to live.
