> BobMale/41 yrs old. The sexual problems (drive and performance) have also been dose-dependent for me. The more Nardil, the less sexual drive and ability to reach orgasm, although erection is not a problem. For me, 60mg creates delayed orgasm (which can be a good thing), whereas 75mg results in frequent anorgasmia. Knowing my response to the dosage this well, I can anticipate a successful episode by reducing dosage by 15mg over the duration of a week and safely remain there for 1-2 weeks. Takes some of the spontaneity out, but I can live with that. As for the previous post (I forgot the name), the reason the Psychiatrists have been reluctant to leave me on the Nardil is two-fold: 1)the risk of a hypertensive reaction from eating/drinking items high in tyramine (I've been fortunate never to experience this); and 2)a desire to try the latest med on the market that's surely got to be better than an MAOI from the fifties. I thought the same thing for the first 10 years, but perfectly happy to remain on Nardil until I see proof that others responding to Nardil have consistently found success with a new agent.
