Today, I realized that due to my anti-depressants, I can no longer orgasm. At. All. Which depresses me more. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I looked up the side effects of the antidepressants I've recently started taking. Inability to orgasm is one of them. I can either not be depressed, or I can have an orgasm. FML
Today, I realized that I'm so depressed that I can't even watch porn without getting upset about how I can't get laid. 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, I found out my anti-depressants are super-effective. So effective, they affect things they aren't even supposed to. Like my ability to pee. FML
Today, after 4 months of severe depression, I finally found an antidepressant that works. The downside? I no longer have any interest or gain pleasure in any of my hobbies. FML
Today, I’ve been horny for weeks on end. Because I’m on antidepressants, I can’t orgasm, so the horniness won’t go away. The only thing I do is go to the gym, where literally EVERYONE seems fuckable. While I’m not depressed anymore, my vagina is. FML
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
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 realized how bad my depression has gotten when I caught myself fantasizing about suicide while having sex with my husband. FML
Today, my credit card got declined while I was buying anti-depressants. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

This is very common with anti-depressants. I had those problems, too. (Sometimes no erection, sometimes not able to ****** =/ ) Either ask your doc to switch medication to Wellbutrin or ask for another medication that will 'cure' that problem.

It doesn't go quite that far for me, but my meds definitely put a damper on things. Hopefully you don't have a conservative middle-aged doctor of the opposite gender. You're not alone!!

That happened to me too. It put quite a bit of strain between me and my girlfriend (and there were other side effects too, like constant nausea and increased appetite), so I stopped taking them, cold turkey. It was pretty stupid, but everything went back to normal almost straight away. I hope you manage to find a solution - anti-depressants SUCK.

When I say everything, I mean that I started being able to ****** again. My depression got much worse, so DON'T go off them cold turkey. I don't take any meds now - for me, the side effects are worse than being depressed.

An evil side effect of anti - depressants. Try another

Yeah, as some others have said, this is a very common problem with anti-depressants, so don't feel it's just you. I would give it a few weeks because it might just get better on its own once your body adjusts; I had a similar experience when I first started using anti-depressants, and then again when my doctor put up the dosage, but after a few weeks things were back to "full working order", so it speak. If it continues, talk to your doctor and get them to switch your meds. A lot of people think that bad side effects are just something they have to put up with if they need the benefits of medication, and in the majority of cases that just isn't true. Anti-depressants in particular are much better than they used to be, and there are many more different kinds. A lot of people still have a very out-dated view - which isn't necessarily your fault, OP, some doctors aren't that great at explaining all this. I had to figure some of it out on my own. Best wishes to you, anyway, and I hope you find some medication that will work well for you :)

Yea but when you keep going and finally do orgasmn it's like the best high ever! And I felt so happy afterwards. (I used to take anti depressants and it had the same effect).

I had this problem when I was on antidepressants, I used them for a year and that effect never went away. Talk to your doctor to switch brands, or leave them for a while. I quit them and ive been doing relatively well. Good luck to you :)

I have totally been there! Perhaps try a different medication? Maybe all anti-depressants don't have that side-effect. You should talk to your doctor about it. No use being unhappy about it if there's a another option out there.
