> I take Cymbalta 60mg and Klonopin 1mg. They have less effect on my sex life than all the other junk I've tried, but still, men always wonder why I don't orgasm or flail and scream, etc. Maybe they are just inexperienced, watch too much porn, and think women are supposed to orgasm quickly, easily and loudly? I don't even know myself what's normal....I'll ask about it in a separate post.
> Anyway, I might be having sex soon with a great guy who knows about my meds. We have never had sex yet. My orgasm is really important to him, and I'm afraid I won't have one.
> What should I do?
Well they have found that dopamine agonists such as Requip(ropinirole) are reversing the sexual side effects of ssri/snri's. I was taking ropinirole for about 3 months before my pdoc suggested going back on ssri's. I'm male and thought, oh great here we go again, after that first pill I won't reach orgasm, well since I started the zoloft I will admit that my sex drive hasn't been as high BUT I have no problem getting there AT ALL. There is quite a bit of info on the net about it, so google dopamine agonists/ssri's and see what comes up. Also if your dr agrees to give it to you. Follow the instructions, you have to start very low and work you way up. If you go too high to quickly you'll be driving the porcelain bus. I only need 1mg but started at .25mg. I'm still amazed that it works so well. Correct me if I'm wrong but viagra is only for erectile dysfunction not for orgasm.
