I wholeheartedly agree. Erasing sexuality for the rest of your life is a seriously, seriously disturbing thing. For me, and I suspect many others, it's not merely the inability to achieve orgasm, but eventually a significant inability to have romantic or sexual feelings in general. You become more and more nonsexual. It is indeed depressing in its own right as you fight your illness, the side effects of the drugs, and the fact that you can't feel sexual any longer.Almost ever single psychiatric drug that affected serotonin in any way has eventually crushed my sexuality. Drugs like Welbutrin, or Lamictal were different, but they also didn't work for me at all. It sometimes seems like there is no relief at all from me condition unless I crush my sexuality.
