ANSWER: Dear Majid
I am not sure whether they are available in India or not but either trazodone or moclobemide may help you in this situation. As your pharmacist.
Buspar does not normally affect libido but is not all that good for depression, more used for anxiety.

thanx u
Answer Dear Majid
Paroxetine can cause loss of libido but not normally. However, it commonly can delay ejaculation, in fact it is often used to delay this in persons suffering from premature ejaculation. It may be worth a try for your depression.
I did say to you before that either trazadone or moclobemide could be used (I am not sure about their availability in India though). Both these very rarely interfere with one's libido.
