How long have you had anorgasmia for?

I don't know if it happens regularly or not, but I found that after a few months, I started to become functional again. Certainly not "normal" but acceptably so after the frustration of in the beginning. Not much comfort at the start, but at least you know it can happen.

Been on the drug now just short of 6 weeks and it kicked in bad past 3 weeks. No erection most of the time. No orgasm all of the time. I remember you said you had to wait 4 months. I would be really frustrated if it lasted that long!
My sex drive is preety mediocre, but even when its on there's no results. Really annoying!
Take care.

How quickly did you go up on the dose of Nardil? How long were you at 15mg, 30mg, 45mg? What are you at now?

Yes unfortunately 4 months, now I can have one whenever I try. I was always able to get an erection though just no orgasm. It was very frustration, after awhile I just accepted it and knew it would come back sooner or later. I would say my sex drive was average also (now that I am not a teenager anymore hehe), now it's a little less than average probably due to the drug.
I hope you can be patient, I was very mad also but I put it againt my anxiety and not having anxiety won in my book
good luck

At what dose and how soon on the med did you start having sexual side-effects? I've been on it a week with no side-effects so far.

Hi,
I received the anorgasmia after the 4th week at 75g..... I don't think I had any side effects the first week either

Hi!,In retrospect I went up the dose far too slow.
1. I started on 30mg for 5 days - no real probs
2.Then 45mg - 3 days - bad cognitive dysfunction as s/effect
3. Back to 30mg- 2 days - no probs
4. Up to 45mg again - 5 days - no real probs after a few days.
4. Finally, 60mg - Ive been on this now for 4 weeks 1 day.So really I screwed around for 2 weeks at 30/45mg, then 60mg for 4 weeks/1 day.
I know for a fact that I havent experienced half of what Nardil is capable of. And I also know for a fact it's going to blow my mind at 90mg, which is what I'll be on in 3 days.
At 60mg I've 'tasted' it's potential and it has done a bit at this dose. But the fact remains I feel 60mg is ineffective for a lot of folks.
90mg is going to be brilliant. I can feel it in my bones & can barely wait!
Cheers, what is your dose? How long?
