In reply to Nardil v Parnate and sexual dysfuntion..., posted by Shedwick on January 21, 2006, at 0:27:33
From a female who had a similar problem ....When on the Old Nardil ...there is nothing wrong with skipping a dose for a Saturday or weekend day...that used to be helpful for me .......My DR recommended Yohimbe back then but I never really gave it a chance......In the long run decided better to be fat, unrequited, instead of feeling miserable!!
> I've been taking Nardil since 1990. Best thing (for me) since sliced bread! 30 mg t.i.d. BUT,
> I have sexual issues with this med. It's hard to get an erection sometimes, and it takes me a long time to have an orgasm. Sometimes I can't.
>
> I got married to a beautiful, sexy gal last year.
> She has been very patient with me.
>
> I decided to slowly get off my phenalzine and, after off for two full weeks (and feeling crummy),
> I started a trial of Wellbutrin.
>
> Well, I'd just look at my penis and I'd have an immediate orgasm...faster orgasms then I remember as a teen! But the Wellbutrin, after only a week, was making me very irritable. So I stopped that (for two weeks), and went back on Uncle Nardil. That was this past August.

> My mood is fine, but the sexual problem is back.
> I'm 55 and in decent condition.

> I'm thinking of switching to Parnate. I drink coffee like there is no tomorrow...I've never had any adverse reactions. I eat cheese, but stay away from the real fermented stuff. I'm not much of a drinker, so beer and wines aren't an issue. If I drink, it's vodka and coke, with no side effects. Tyramine (especially heavy cream) really kicks my butt, so I steer clear of that.

> And of course, I don't do dextromethoraphan or psuedephedrine.

> Anyone had similar problems with Nardil? Any suggestions?
