I don't believe cyproheptadine is contraindicated with MAOIs. In fact, I believe it's very often used in the management of serotonin syndrome secondary to MAOIs and other serotonergic antidepressants.
I'm a little surprised to hear of loratadine for sexual dysfunction. I understood that the benefit of this drug was that it was an antihistamine, but that it would be *less* apt to cross the blood-brain barrier vs. first-generation antihistamines? Seems a convoluted way of achieving such a goal.
