I'd just like to experience one more orgasm. I'm guessing the lack of an orgasm is due to medication ie anti-depressants. I have a wonderful hubby who tries EVERYTHING!

Helping myself doesn't work either...

So is an orgasm important or should I be happy with just the touchy feely thing?

It is true that certain prescription medications can cause decrease in sensation as well as libido. Maybe a discussion w/ your PCP is necessary. Good luck!

SSRI antidepressants shut me off like a light switch. It is very common and why I can't take them! Doesn't leave much of an option

Yep, I went off of my SSRI because of that reason.

Once I started exercising regularly, I didn't need them.

Do you think you could be happy with just touching and cuddling? That's something only you can answer.

I take meds for bipolar disorder and I don't have any problems having an orgasm or three, but when I was on regular antidepressants it was like taking me to the finish line and not letting me cross it. Horrible.

Cymbalta was the worst! And Zoloft. Now I'm on abilify, lamictal and tegritol and am a happy camper.

It is but I have chronic daily Migraines (get Botox injections every 3 months) and Cymbalta works so its a trade off

I took it and Neurontin for neuropathy pain from a spinal injury until I started taking Lyrica. It was like a miracle drug. No more walking using a walker. The Cymbalta made me unable to orgasm and it made me sweat excessively.

I've been taking SSRI's for 10 years. I've no problems with manual orgasms, it's my husband that turns me off :)

I couldn't. Heck, I'd wear my vibrator out first.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
