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

Crank time

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

I'd go with the orgasms.

Orgasming is an antidepressant in itself :)

****** fo sho! Kidding! Go with not depressed. That could be a long term thing. People can be depressed for years if they dont take it. You can have an ****** when you're better! Plus the side effects don't always happen!

If the side effects aren't worth it, talk to your doctor and see if you can switch. There are a lot of options!

If the orgasms were really that great for you, would you need to be taking the antidepressants?

You should feel bad for being so ignorant about how clinical depression works.

I actually tried to get this same exact situation posted as an FML a couple of days ago and it didn't get approved. I was finally able to have an ****** today. It took a lot of patience and relaxation, but it was finally achieved! Good luck!

Oh, I misread the FML. I actually wasn't able to ****** for about two months because of my antidepressant. I wasn't just afraid of it being a side effect that COULD happen!

I faced the same choice with my citalopram. Thankfully it was a low dosage and I can manage without them.

If you have that side effect and tell the dr, they will switch your Meds. That's one of the main side effects they will switch for. It means its not integrating well with your body.
