Hi
> Anyone have experience with Nardil's sex effects taking a long time to go away?
I took it for 8 months before this side effect went for me. Well, it never COMPLETELY went but was managable. Still, I could certainly 'last a long time!' ;-)
Have you tried Bethanechol? Not only can it help with urinary retention (another side effect of Nardil), it has also been used for MAOI sexual dysfunction:
"Bethanechol, a cholinergic agonist, was reported to reverse tricyclic and MAOI induced sexual dysfunction (Gross 1982). Doses, from 10 to 40 mg taken as needed, have reversed erectile and ejaculatory disturbances. "Side effects from bethanechol include diarrhea, cramps and excessive sweating (Gitlin 1995)."
