Even though Nardil is working really well for me, I'm stuck with two side effects which it would be nice to eradicate. One is slight weight gain, about 4 lbs. The other is of course sexual dysfunction. I still find innumerable women attractive, so that bit is still intact. However there is numbness, erectile dysfuction and anorgasmia. I'm over 60 so you might argue it hardly matters, but I'm divorced and would like to find a partner to retire with. I'm afraid to try though as I feel I have nothing to offer in the sex line.
Has anyone tried bromocryptine? I'm told it induces nausea; hardly a good accompaniment to the sexual act. I used to hear a lot about cabergoline as well, but not recently. Has anyone any suggestions? I'm cutting my dose as instructed by some MAOI experts on the grounds that Nardil has done its job in mopping up most of the MAOI and now only needs a small amount of drug to mop it up as it arises. This is not so straightforward though, as Nardil has a strong pro-GABA effect. Perhaps with the help of Xanax this might be OK though.
All comments welcome
Thanks Fred
