Sucks to suck

Today, after several months of starting an antidepressant at the same time as my husband, I have horrible side effects, including weight gain, drowsiness, and acne. His only side effect? He can now only achieve an orgasm through oral stimulation. Lucky me. FML

So...does that mean he can give you an ****** first through vaginal sex if he can get it up?

Please talk to your prescribing doctor and explain your issues. There are multiple antidepressants, each with somewhat different side effects. Ideally it should be prescribed by a psychiatrist who is an MD specializing in mental health issues. A psychiatrist would be better informed with the anti-depressant options. I was on an antidepressant myself some years back (Celexa in my case - It is less prone to weight gain, but it has mild laxative-like effects). I had problems coming to ******, but I found that by changing when I took my medication made things workable for me. Antidepressants act through the levels in your bloodstream and by taking it in the evenings instead of the morning, my antidepressant blood level was lowest when we usually had sex (in the evening - I am not a morning person). Finally, I received both psychological counseling and medication for my depression. At least in my case, the counseling was ultimately effective and I could eventually drop the antidepressant.

I know the answer to that one based on my own experience. Not being able to ****** removes the pleasure you get from the sex act and is frustrating. You even feel obligated to fake an ****** just to get it over. It would be a lot less frustrating and exhausting for husband to give oral and/or use a vibrator on wife so she can ****** (unless the antidepressant has made that impossible for her).

Lazy, fat, pimply girls have a hard time getting guys to notice them. Be glad you found one who will let you blow him. That thought should cheer you up.

Medication is barely tested on women. When you realize that these meds are all created, tested, and dosages determine based on men's bodies & hormones, then it's no wonder you have such a hard time on it. It was never designed for us.
