> Since starting Parnate 3 weeks ago, my libido has gradually gone way down. It's to the point that as a 24 year old I've started losing interest in girls. My dosage has slowly been increased to 60mg (about 3 days at this dose now). I've tried to look for answers here on the site but couldn't really find any.

I wouldn't say that my libido is decreased from the medication alone. My libido usually decreases as I become depressed. I will say that I have been on parnate for a little over three weeks. I am at 50mg right now. I don't mean to sound graphic but there has been no problem with delayed orgasms like I experienced with SSRI's. When my depression goes into remission it will be easier to answer this question. As you probably know, one of the many symptoms of depression is loss of libido.
