> It is just so totally typical of ADs. Only Wellbutrin seems to maybe add some revving to the sexual motor. Al the others have a tendency to affect it some way, usually dampening some aspect of drive and completion.
That's not true; you shouldn't make blanket statements about "all" ADs. While interference with sexual functioning is very common with the SSRIs, I believe it is much less so with the MAOIs, and other posters can let you know about sex drive/performance with the TCA class of anti-depressants.
As for Moclobemide, I tried it once. I experienced no side effects at all, sexual or otherwise; but at the same time, it only made my depression worse. If you've given this AD about 4-6 weeks' trial and don't see any improvement, then get off it as soon as possible, after a suitable tapering of dose.
