>Remeron was the first antidepressant I tried, and it made me so horney and orgasmic, I could hardly stand it. I wanted sex all the time. Unfortunately it also made me goofy as hell in that I could not think straight and had to stop it. I have been on Parnate (trying to wean off of it and down to 10 mg. per day now with no depression noted). As I get down to a lower dose, I notice my sexual capacity coming back. So, I would tend to agree about the Remoran if you can tolerate it.
