I realize the short comings of Maois with their drug interactions and dietary
restrictions. However I've heard some good things about the effectiveness of parnate (maoi) on another board. It increases Dopamine quite a bit in addition to serotonin and norepenephrine. So you get a balance of all the neurotransmitters. Therefore you tend not to get a decrease in
testosterone and one male on it said his went up quite a bit while on it. Also many patients report an increase in libido while on it as opposed to the decrease which is very common on the ssris. They're coming out with a selegeline patch soon which may alleviate some of the dietary retrictions of the other maois. The patch will be in doses that will inhibit both mao-a and mao-b like the traditionsl maois.
