Today, I found out that the pills my doctor prescribed for my ED cause severe side effects and I have to stop taking them. So much for my sex life. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I realized that due to my anti-depressants, I can no longer orgasm. At. All. Which depresses me more. FML
Today, I took pills to make sure I lasted longer with my girlfriend. Good news? It worked fine and is still working now. Bad news? We've been done for a good two hours. FML
Today, I had to take Viagra. FML
Today, I found out my doctors could've killed me by mixing two meds that react badly and shouldn't be mixed. I've been taking them together for a year. FML
Today, the pills my doctor prescribed for my extremely painful period cramps apparently have a side effect; excruciatingly painful cramps. I feel like I'm being repeatedly stabbed in the ovaries with a rusty fork. FML
Today, I found out my ex gave me an STI. Today I also found out I'm allergic to the medication. FML
Today, I finally lost my virginity. I also found out the side effects of my antidepressants: It's hard for me to get it up, and I can't orgasm. When I finally got it up, I went so long, it ended with her saying, "Yeah, you should stop now, I'm numb." FML
Today, and for months now, the meds that stop me from killing myself have killed my sex drive. My boyfriend, being stressed at work, initially assured me that his was also non existent and not to worry. I found out he's been wanking every day and hiding it from me so I don't feel bad. Now I know, I feel fucking awful. FML
Today, I noticed my unopened box of Viagra passed its 'use by' date three months ago. My sex life ended in 2022. FML
Today, after months of successfully taking strides to boost my long diminished libido, I found out my girlfriend, who always had a healthy sex drive, has now lost hers. Oh, how the tables have turned. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Assuming you are describing Viagra or it’s generics, yes it does tend to cause headaches including migraines and sinus congestion. I have used Viagra myself. And these effects actually last somewhat longer than the desired benefits, but they only last a few hours, not all day. Take Benadryl to help with the congestion and Tylenol to help with the headache as my doctor suggested. You need to time when you take it so it’s well before bedtime, because lying down with a migraine headache can make it worse. Also if you are like me, I have learned that certain medications and foods can trigger or make migraines more likely. The combination of a migraine and Viagra is not a good combination. I eventually found that the nitrates in cured meats increase the likelihood of a migraine for me - Such as in most brands of bacon, ham, sausages, pastrami. So can dark chocolate too. Also certain medications such as Flomax (also prescribed for baldness under a different name I think) frequently trigger migraines. For me it wasn’t just one thing that triggered migraines, it was a combination of things that added up to migraines. The short version - talk to your prescribing doctor. There may be other medications or foods that are worsening the side effects you are experiencing and it may be possible to find an acceptable balance that works for you. Don’t give up so easily on sex...

Is there only one medication for that?
