So any antidepressant I take seems to cause anorgasmia. Does anyone know of a medication that can be prescribed to counteract anorgasmia?

It sucks to be feeling great, be in a great mood, want to have sex and then ..! and then ..! Ah dangit ... nothing.

I'm currently taking 150 mg of Venlafaxine ER, but every antidepressant I've taken has caused anorgasmia; Welbutrin, Celexa, Cymbalta ... you name it. I just get to feeling good emotionally and WHAMO! no orgasms.

Yeah I have the same problem.....also on Venlafaxine. I guess I have lived with it because the alternative is unbearable. Would be nice to know if there is anything out there though.....

Well, I found a few things, but there's some question about whether they work or not:

Nasal Oxytocin Spray
Cabergoline
Viagra

Nasal Oxytocin Spray, when sniffed at the time that someone is supposed to achieve orgasm is supposed to put you over that edge. Oxytocin is released during intercourse and peaks at orgasm. Ergo, a dose of it artificially creates that peak inducing orgasm.
Male anorgasmia treated with oxytocin. [J Sex Med. 2008] - PubMed - NCBI

Cabergoline, if I understand it correctly, is believed to interrupt secretion of prolactin that causes anorgasmia. This is currently being studied because it's not certain if that's the cause. This information comes because after male orgasm, prolactin levels are high in the blood (thus they believe the reason most men can't have multiple-orgasms). SSRI medications are prolactin sparing medications and cause a buildup of prolactin in the blood stream leading to anorgasmia. (They think.) Very limited testing has shown a 10-75% recovery in secondary anorgasmia cases (this was not a double blind test). Testing was done at Baylor College of Medicine
A new option for orgasm problems in men - Harvard Health Publications

Viagra because they want to sell more of it. Honestly I couldn't find anything to tell me why it would work, just that it had been used.

So if anyone has tried any of these medicines please let us know. I'm probably going to bring them up to my doctor to see what he thinks.
Thanks for this!

Yikes, it's good for major depressive disorder and low appetite. But too much appetite can be a trigger for major depression ... hmmm ...
