Today, I realized that due to my anti-depressants, I can no longer orgasm. At. All. Which depresses me more. FML

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?

so... you're paying MONEY for antidepressants that don't work, which also cause you to not be able to get a happy, which depresses you even more. wow, you're a genius!

#229 Maybe OP just started the antidepressants. They can take a month or so before you feel a positive difference of any kind.

And how were they supposed to know what side effects they would or would not have?

What doctors sometimes prescribe now to solve your problem: Cabergroline / Dostinex, 0.25 - 1mg twice (2) times a week for 1-2 months, then you shouldn't need more for about 6 months. Hint: You can get this from 4rx without a prescription, or just do your research online, print out things and take them into your doctor in case you do not know. It's primarily used to treat Parkinsons disease but it's use as a prolactin inhibitor and it's sexual side effects are desirable to the SSRI community and a lot of doctors have caught on. I don't take any SSRI's myself, save for diproxoline ;) Studies have been done with doses up to 8mg a day and proven safe, IIRC it's used up to 13mg/day for parkensons, but you don't have parkensons. Have fun...

Try switching meds? There are a number of different kinds out there; surely there must be some that don't have sexual side effects.

I had the same problem and it was horrible. But there's always a happy medium. I found a drug that allowed me to ****** and not want to kill myself constantly :D

Your dosage is too high. Try starting out lower. Sometimes your body adjusts when you start low and work your way up. I know some doctors tend to go way higher than necessary. I think all SSRI's will cause that libido switch-up, but dosage is a huge factor. BTW, if you're too high too soon, you run the risk of having a bigger problem with weight gain, too.

Get a different antidepressant, none of the ones I've ever taken have had that effect

I've had ones that did that also, but there is a ton of different brands and types out there.

What antidepressant are you on? This might explain a lot.
