Antidepressants

Your physician ought to be able to come up with something that allows you to enjoy your sexuality. Try different medications and combinations. Good luck.

I hope he can do something because I am frustrated as hell. I'm horny all the time but I can't get any release.

It has been my experience (on Prozac) that it does not lessen the drive but does interfere with the orgasm mechanism.

The description of "shallower" orgasms above is just about right. There were times when I would masturbate and then finally give up. Other times there was a very shallow (weak) orgasm along with ejaculation.

But in my experience it didn't affect the number or erections in the least.

Impotency is a SIDE effect of SOME anti-depressants.

It is not necessarily something that someone has EVERY time that they take anti-depressants.

My advice is to get your doctor to try a different anti-depressant.

...and maybe a Viagra or two to break you out of your cycle...

Patients have to speak up. Demand that your physician experiment with medications with you to find one that does not reduce libido.

I know that when my doctor did the followup he asked me if I was experiencing any "sexual side effects" and no WAY was I telling him that my orgasms were not very good!

If he did not want to know he wouldn't have asked you.

It is a common side effect of anti-depressants to have that effect on a person and many times changing antidepressants or adjusting the dose works wonders.

Don't be embarrassed. He needs to know.

I have been on paxil for five years now and at first it lowered my sex drive but over time it didnt have mutch efect on me. That is why i also take depo provera. I am feeling better than i have ever felt on thies drugs.

I have been on anti-depression meds for 10 years now. Paxal, Zoloft, Prozac all brought my hormone levels down. I am now on Wellbrutrin, which gives me my drive back, but I don't seem to cum as I have in the past. It seems watery, not as big and

my hormone levels seems to be on the low side for some reason, and that's without castration! I take DHEA to try to keep a balance, I do enjoy my morning woods, but I can't jerk off and cum most of the time!
