I have been on MAOI's for over 10 years now. I am female and haven't had any loss of libido at all and am practically always orgasmic...even when other areas of my experience of life are very dark. Have you tried another MAOI? Is that all you are taking? Is it working for you? You might ask about augmentation. I must also take a stimulant(Dexedrine)in the mornings. It is tricky,but I have very low blood pressure,did the research,and trust my doctor completely. You already know the drill on the diet, one just has to watch it more closely. Also --major warning-- be certain to discuss any of the current meds available for erectile dysfunction (prescribed, herbal,or OTC) with your psychiatrist(and I so hope you are seeing one who is expert and current on psychopharmacology). Most of these meds work with the hydraulics of blood and fluid pressure. One doesn't want to push that with MAOI's. You may try taking your dose at a different time. Also,exercise can make a tremendous difference as can talk therapy for any unresolved issues.
