I've never heard of using a TCA to counteract anorgasmia. In fact, it was my impression tricyclics commonly cause sexual dysfunction. What one are you using, and at what dose? Does it truly work? If it does, why isn't this common knowledge among psychiatrists?

Since I've stared the selegiline (5 mg at first and now 10 mg), my interest in sex seems to be somewhat dulled. It's also taking a bit more effort (under simulated conditions) to get an erection and climax.
