In reply to Parnate and sexual side effects?, posted by zana on August 21, 2009, at 8:43:02
> Do MAOIs have the same sexual side effect profiles as SSRI's. I'm on Pristiq which is supposed to have no sexual side effects. Alas, not true for me.

I currently take 90 mg/day of Nardil. In total I have taken Nardil for about three years. The med greatly lowers my libido, causes severe erectile dysfunction, and delays orgasm to the point of anorgasmia in most cases.In my case, the severity of the sexual side effects are a function of daily dosage levels.
Recently, I conducted a trial of Parnate in hopes of losing the 50 pounds of Nardil-induced weight gain. Parnate (80 mg/day) did not work for me as a psychotropic medication. However, during my there-month trial of Parnate, my libido increased dramatically. However, I regularly experienced premature ejaculation.
