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

Sucks to suck

By Lila - 31/05/2022 16:00 - United States - Port Orange

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

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

What new hell is this

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 realized that I'm so depressed that I can't even watch porn without getting upset about how I can't get laid. FML

Neverending cycle

By wookieewhosshe - 27/10/2022 03:00 - United Kingdom - Gloucester

Today, I stopped watching porn at 6 a.m. to Google if depression makes you not able to cum. I was masturbating because I can't sleep. Insomnia is also a sign of depression. There's no joy at night anymore. FML

Today, I was given new meds, and apparently my body doesn't understand the difference between "may cause stomach upset" and "you will crap yourself as you have an orgasm while having sex with your boyfriend." FML

Today, four months into a deep depression, I now have a new involuntary reaction to being sad and angry. I constantly have an erection when I'm feeling really down or pissed off, even when I cry. FML

Orgasming is an antidepressant in itself :)

Honestly, i;d get off the pills. A lot of the times doctors are to quick and always prescribe medication when they may not be needed. Try curing your depressing naturally instead of resorting to pills. There are tons of negative side effects and they are not worth it unless your depression is really bad. So go with the orgasms ;D

22, and 17. What you don't realize is that depression can be a purely chemical imbalance with little or no causes linked to things happening in your life. Imagine having a nerve disorder like fibro myalgia. Where you randomly experience hyper sensitivity and pain for no reason. Would you tell that person to suck it up and get off meds? There are times where medication is needed.

Thank you 43! There is still so much ignorance and stigma surrounding mental illness. Clinical Depression is not just feeling sad and sufferers are not weak people. You can't just tell someone to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, get some exercise and be happy. It is a medical illness like diabetes or high blood pressure but we don't tell diabetics to just feel better. Most anti-depressants or not a happy pill. They don't magically cure you and make everything in your life better. They simply put you on an even keel so you can get around to living your life without the debilitation of all the mental AND physical symptoms.

I've been diagnosed with depression (as well as having adult a.d.d.) and I've found that I am much better off the meds then when I was on. It's was a struggle at first to discover the best thing for my "problems", but there IS a possibility to help yourself without medication. In fact, I had extra issues from side effects, which needed other medication to treat. So yes, not everyone can do it without medicine but there is that possibility! You can't compare one to another, everyone's different and ever disease is treated differently.

My dad was diagnosed with Bipolar Manic Depression. If he doesn't take his medicine for a day and he is ready to kill someone or himself.

Shouldn't you look up the side effects of your medication BEFORE you start taking it?

Nah, that would involve common sense.

It depends on how common the side effect it. Some people never experience some or any side effects. If you are unable to do so, talk to your doctor to explore some other option in regards to your therapy.

Side effects don't apply to 100% of patients 100% of the time; they're just possibilities and the drug companies list every possibility to cover all the bases, no matter how likely or unlikely they may be. I wouldn't worry about the possible side effects unless you actually see them happen to you.
