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 :)

It may only be temporary.

As a male who has been on anti-depressants for years I can tell you that it is an issue to some extent with all of them. It can be tough experimenting with medication but there will be one that strikes a happy medium for you. For me it was Effexor but it's different for everyone.

It did for me. I couldn't ****** when I first started taking Celexa, and there were nights where I would cry. I probably shed tears out of frustration more than anything else, but it sure didn't help the depression!

I've heard that orgasms can actually be the best natural painkiller/antidepressant.

If you had no problem having orgasms before, why would you be depressed?!

I'm calling BS, no doctor in their right mind would ever prescribe an antidepressant that blocks the release of dopamine (which is what an ****** is; a surge of dopamine.) Dopamine is what makes you happy so no antidepressant would block the production or release of it.
