Before I get my hopes up to high about obtaining it, I would just like to know how it rates on a scale of one to ten, 1 being Dexedrine and 10 being (ech!)Zoloft in terms of sexual side-effects. (I this question weird?)Else,
I have been on Parnate for most of the past 13 years. I had very few problems at 40 mg (plus I was younger then). I now take 70 mg and suffer from low libido and some impotence. However, I've also taken benzos for almost all of that time as well as Trazodone for sleep. It might be the combination that's the problem, I don't know. I do know that I added 15 mg Ritalin daily about 4 months ago and things are much better now. Hope this helps. Sorry I can't give you a 1 to 10 rating since I couldn't tolerate SSRI's (or anything else anymore), but I had no sexual problems with Tricyclics when I could tolerate them.
