taboo not really, lots are in trouble with the pork sword on meds. lexapro 20mg and I am a waste of space , 10mg and im cool but for the ejaculation, I can do it manually but not actual intercourse . Your penis nerve endings seem without that feeling total nothing. Down to 5mg now bit more up for it but still no sexual orgasm with sex. Ladies have the same problems but us guys carnt have sex at all with a limp sword.
 darling not to night

I know what you mean, although I am a woman. Woman can't have a decent orgasm either.
I tell you, here we are depressed enough as it is, and we have to lose that fun part of life because of the meds we have to take.

Yes, this was a problem for me, although i didn't have this issue on cymbalta and i was able to tap my partner with confidence.

For many years they made it difficult to orgasm. I liked this as I was active and could stay up longer and could still orgasm. It just took a long time. Now after 19 years of SSRI's and SNRI's it has become ED. Floppy. It seems maybe a little better with Fetzima but not much. What is weird is that even with ED I can still orgasm but it is very premature. I don't mind it a lot because I have not been active for a long time. Kind of puts a big damper on any future relationship. I am 50 but I am pretty sure people still have sex at 50.
I hate to scare people away from meds but it is the reality of SSRI's and SSNRI's. Seems they all do it to most people. It is the very long term use for me that turned into ED. I hope it is reversible but I don't see myself off these meds anyway. A big price to pay. Thanks for bringing it up. Only time I have heard it discussed here.

Sex? now tell me what that is again? I should know this, I should know this. lol
Seriously as another mentioned for women it's not decent. Like fireworks without the big finale, just a dud. It's pretty frustrating |

Sex? Hmm I remember this from a few years ago before being on depression meds. I hate that side effect.

This is depressing the hell out of me. I'm in my 30s on risperidone. Only been on for a few months. Terrified of psychosis, it was a really nasty episode. So the drug is helping me in that regard. But it dims me down, takes the spark out of my life, and it kills my sex drive. I've recently gotten a girlfriend and I can't get it up or have sex. Even when we fool around, it's all about her and I get nothing because there's nothing there, just limp as can be. I feel like I'm going through the motions and missing the actual experience.
It's depressing and it's hurting my self-confidence and I'm afraid I'll lose this girl to someone more virile by the time I'm off the meds. My current doc wants me to stay on the risperidone for a year. A YEAR. That sounds like agony. Surely there's another med that doesn't murder the libido. I can't get it up and I don't even masturbate anymore. An important spark in my life has gone. On the other hand I'm terrified of psychosis - my episode before the meds was absolutely harrowing. Does anyone have experience tapering off meds just to test out the effects? I know my current doc will not like this idea and likely won't condone it. But I'm starting to get pretty depressed and even dreading sexual encounters with my girl. Hoping for a light in the dark. |

If your a male. Use the lowest amount of Lexapro that is therapeutic to you. Include cardio and lifting in your workouts. Use D-Aspartic Acid and carnosine along with NADH, korean ginseng and few other supplements,(co-enzyme b vits, a good multi, throw in some maca, and EFS for heavy cardio, if needed . No yohimbine, especially on certain meds. Keep your electrolytes balanced, eat well on top of that. = ftw!
And you wont have to polypharmacy up with wellbutrin, hopefully. Just read some more of your post. I feel for you. When it's not natural at this stage of the game. That why, IMHO try to keep your med's as therapeutically low as possible. Along with the cardio=endorphins and stamina!Along with lifting for muscle skeletal and a lot of guys like to be buff. I skip the lifting and just cycle mostly. Though I should balance that out more. I mean less weights more reps leaner and stronger! If you can keep that up with a good diet and the main supplements above. You may have a switch turn without to many issues med wise! Of course go over this with your doc and/or pdoc!

Actually things are getting slightly better on Fetzima. This surprises me as it is an SSNRI and Effexor was probably the biggest culprit.
Better not really in the libido part but in the physical way.

Sex? What's that? Have had only three orgasms in my life without a vibrator, and I'm 45. No libido whatsoever.

I'm in my 40's on cymbalta. It's a bit better than when I was on Zoloft. I'm not in the mood generally, but when it happens, I can still have a happy ending.

My libido has been in the toilet since early 30's, unmedicated. Now over 40 and happily single, feel no desire for a casual encounter or another long term relationship. In fact I really can't remember the last time I was in the mood! I'm sure my age began with a 2. . .

I like Wellbutrin and Abilify. Lots of other meds have had that effect for me. Real bummer.
