Moreover when I take antidepressants I tend to devolop some OCD features (and sometimes some OCD syntoms in the first phase of the treatment). Therefore I probably have some OCD traits ... but I don't have compulsions and/or obsessions.

The problem is, as I have posted somewhere that the only MAOI available in Italy is a compound linking Parnate and Trifluoperazine (brand name Stelazine). The last should be an antipsychotic even if my encyclopedia puts it in the "anxiolitics class" with benzos (and it's the only fenotiazin in that class ... I can't understand this point). Therefore I'm not so sure that the compound would be pro-sexual and I'm scared of the consequences in the long run ...

> Bye !Yeah that's weird if it's the only phenothiazine considered an anxiolytic. i dunno. But yeah, i guess it would depend on the relative doses, but i imagine that this (or any) phenothiazine/ antipsychotic would negate any prosexual effects from the Parnate-- good chance may even reduce libido, but i'm not sure. That's just my guess. Plus yeah you also might still run the risk of long-term side effects such as Tardive Dyskinesia. Good luck.
