> I'm looking for prn solution, not keen on the idea of chronic administration for a side effect that isn't 'dangerous'. Since I have no problems with my sexual ability now (thanks to mirtazapine) with mirtazapine/escitalopram combo I figure that the anorgasmia on mirtazapine/CMI combo isn't due to increased serotonin levels. Makes sense?

> /MattiasI have not heard that an antimuscarinic could be responsible for anorgasmia. There needs to be a balance between 5-HT2c and 5-HT1a receptor activation in order to function sexually. Libido, erections, and orgasm are affected by SSRIs. I believe that, when stimulated, 5-HT2c receptors are responsible for achieving erections. 5-HT1a receptor stimulation is responsible for maintaining libido. Of course, circuits using other neurotransmitters (NE and DA) play a role in facilitating orgasm.

I dream of things that never were and ask why not.
