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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
