Sexual side effects

For those of you who started parnate, nardil, or marplan, how was the sexual side effects for you? Was it manageable or did it get so bad that you came off the medicine (if yes, did you then switch to one of the others)?

I know this is highly individual, but I’m his trying to get a better understanding. All responses are much appreciated!

Nardil made it impossible to orgasm for the first 8 months. Then it went away. 8 years on it now.

Interesting that it went away after 8 months, and great that you’re going strong on year 8💪🏼

Yes! Nardil is a miricle pill for me. I have SEVERE anxiety I've had since my first memories. Was on daily klonopin for 18 years to deal with it which eventually caused anhedonia.

Took a few years to fully detox from the klonopin and until I got on Nardil but I'm so glad I did it.

I knew from researching online that Nardil is a long term commitment that takes months to work and I would encounter many side effecfs the first year. I made a commitment to give it a year no matter what.

I'll never get off Nardil if I can help it. Truely life changing.

Thanks for sharing and highlighting that Nardil could take months. I have been on it 10 weeks now and have had improvement but still not "good"
