Hello. I am on Parnate 20mg for depression and social anxiety. Also taking diazepam, ritalin and sometimes gabapentin.
I take Parnate at noon and 4pm. My sex drive is very low and was practically gone at higher dose of 25mg.
Without dropping dose what can I do? Because this dose of Parnate does help me for depression and is a good balance I believe in terms of side effects and benefit.
Sometimes I get a bit of a sex drive boost around 6-7pm but it doesn't last.
It might be due to taking Ginseng complex.
What can I try? A specific type of ginseng? Any other suppliments or foods?
Please offer any advice.

Id drop the ginseng,im almost sure its a interaction listed substance as well as wont help.
Let me seeee,i will look more on it,but for now i can recomend this with safety,the amino acid arginine as im sure u prob read works well,but also add arginine topical cream as well.
Brands are very important when it comes to supplements,one brand i always felt faith in was COUNTRY LIFE,id try to get.Try not to get combos,like formulas with this and that,its all money wasted.
I can personaly attest to arginine,and introduced to the topical form once lets say i agree that it works.
Id keep it simple at first,see how that does,also ill do some looking too and post back.
For me aderall sparingly works well,but sparginly only.
Hold tight,ive been there and felt it was gone forever,now im fine,just takes some time and searching.
