To start with I have a complicated mood disorder Bipolar2/ Atypical Dysphoric Depression (with aspects of social anxiety, suicidal depression, seasonal affective disorder, OCD, EDS (simple narcolepsy), blah blah blah...)
I can't really say anything about the sexual side effects of these MAOI's because (as my therapist believes) obliterating my sex drive tends to make me more stable (even if that is a perverse way to get through life.)
To the point: Nardil was intolerable. It made me feel comatose. Parnate was okay. It was no better or worse than other antidepressants. Back in the day, I use to bet the house on each new drug or drug cocktail that came out. I'm more realistic now. I stopped Parnate just to try something else back then... If your are prone to big time insomnia, I might try Nardil. Otherwise, I'd say go with Parnate.
Good Luck. River.
