so, i'm feeling pretty frustrated. ever since i had to start taking a different mood stabilizer, and i finally reached for at least now what is a dose that is working for the most part, i am still able to get aroused, and i can get close, but it seems that i just can't have an orgasm. and while i enjoy just being intimate with my partner and being able to make her feel good, i am typically a somewhat sexual person, i guess, and i just need the release or something. so i guess that's why i'm feeling frustrated. i plan to bring this up with my pdoc when i see him next week, although it will probably be kind of awkward, i just wondered if anyone else has had this problem from meds? i know it can be common with anti-depressants. i guess i'm just unaware if there are solutions that do not involve going off the medication....?

i will also state, i suppose, that some of the therapy work i'm doing could maybe be playing into the problem with subconscious, but i really do feel that for the most part it's the medicine. it started before the therapy work, and i have had this problem before with other mood stabilizers, but didn't feel as okay about bringing it up with my doctor, maybe because of my age or something, or maybe i just didn't know him well enough yet. anyway, sorry to ramble.
