There is not really that much information out there except mostly anecdotal. Despite being off paxil for three weeks I am still basically anorgasmic. Some sensation has been restored but its still far from normal. My psychiatrist, who is very smart and compassionate, says he has heard that it can take 4-6 weeks or more for the effets to clear. This was not my experience in the past. I know one of my medications is causing this but I dont know which. The wellbutrin is not it, what about lithium? It is not supposed to have this side effect. The only other med is a blood pressure med, diovan 75, and I have seen it listed as not causing sexual side effects. This is all discouraging as I have a new boyfriend who is starting to notice. I have tried ritalin and cyproheptadine and they do not help at all. I am going to start Hormone replacement therapy and am wondering if estrogen will help? I also wonder if my low FSH and low estrogen might have something to do with the anorgasmia although I never heard this.
