This comes from a comparison of 3 wks on Nardil vs. about six weeks on Prozac:Nardil (30mg/day): made it difficult to maintain an erection and made me last forever. However, my libido was not decreased. In fact, I was even more interested in girls and with my confidence through the roof I happened to go on a hookup frenzy that was only rivaled by my college years.
It sounds ridiculous, but my socialization skills were completely reversed (in a good way).Prozac (20 mg/day): still able to get an erection. No interest in sex.
In retrospect, I'd rather have decreased erection capacity (which, by the way, usually goes away after a few months) than no libido.
