Antidepressants and Sex
Posted: Fri Sep 22, 2017 7:16 am
Hello,
I've just very recently starting taking antidepressants for my anxiety. It was a tough year and I knew I needed that extra help to feel like myself so I made the decision to tell my Dr. and start them. I was reading about side effects and how having an orgasm and can be difficult on these medications. So I masturbated the other day and I was able to have an orgasm. It took a little bit longer than usual but it still happened and felt the same as always. My boyfriend and I had sex last night and no matter what I couldn't have one! After a while my clitoris even felt numb from all the contact and rubbing. I'm really worried this medication will stop me from being able to have those close moments with my partner and now I'm really nervous to try again! I feel more like myself on the pills, but this is a HUGE downer...
