Yes, I'm on a lot of meds. I've told the psychiatrist that the last pill I was put on has sexual side effects including making an orgasm next to impossible to achieve even on my own (which until then had been relatively easy to achieve). And even if I do achieve an orgasm now, it really doesn't feel worth the effort.

The problem is, whenever I see the psychiatrist, I'm alone and don't see any way I'll have a partner in the future, so I don't care and nothing gets changed. I mean, who really cares if I masturbate anymore? It's actually really depressing when that's literally the only way I can get off. And I think that's true without medication. I'm pretty sure no one else will ever get me off. So why would I want to touch myself and remind myself how pathetic I am and how I'm the only one who wants to touch me?

And because I don't care, the doctor doesn't change anything with my medication even if there are clearly side effects and I'm clearly too depressed to care even though I'm on two antidepressants. The thing is, the one with all the sexual side effects (cymbalta), added to my other anti-anxiety pill keeps me calm most of the time. I don't know if it's worth switching to another medication or not.
