In reply to MAOIs and Sex- Is it possible?, posted by bearfan on July 13, 2010, at 17:42:27
> I've had some kind of sexual dysfunction in virtually all antidepressant treatments i've tried. Over long term, it just made me less interested in it at all. I am thinking about trying a MAOI instead. Is Parnate (a popular choice)free from most sexual side effects (ie sustaining an erection, no orgasm, low libido)? My depression is moderate to mild, but I do have trouble with assertiveness and social anxiety. I've also tried a stimulant with an ssri, but I didn't like the overstimulated feeling often (do maois do that)?
MAOIs and Sex-Is it possible?
Yes, Parnate and Emsam are good choices (I'm not a guy though). However, MAOI's aren't usually used for mild to moderate depression. Parnate IS a popular choice, but Nardil is usually preferred for social anxiety. Parnate is known for its "speediness". Some people can't tolerate it.
