> Selegiline (L-Deprenyl) has, in my experience, been very good for treating anorgasmia. I've been on this at up to 40 mg/day, and it has a very, very positive effect. You can't take this with SSRI's or other MAOI's. Also, above 10-15 mg/day, it loses its selectivity for MAO-B, and inhibits both MAO-A and MAO-B.

Dear JB, are you a man or a woman? I have never heard of selegiline but am interested to hear about it. As I assume my anorgasmia was drug induced probably by paxil 5mgs, a very low dose, I wont have to take anything if i can stay off SSRI'S. Unfortunately four weeks after going off paxil I am getting depressed something I dont tollerate too well. I would say I no longer have anorgasmia but still have delayed orgasim. My psychiatrist says he has heard it can take four to six weeks for the sexual dysfunction side effect to go away. I am trying to hold out, wellbutrin has never worked for me this is my third trial, I would like to have my body back. Better but not cured. I am still taking a high dose of ginko, another dopamine agent.
