Citalopram made me go off sex entirely. I could orgasm but I just never felt like it. That drug was a real libido-killer for me.
Same with Effexor for me too. Although I heard that Avanza (mirtazapine) is NOT supposed to have this effect. I take both now, so I can't know if it's true.
BTW, I'm male - at least "technically" of course.
In honor of the great & now unfortunately dead Kurt Vonnegut, here's a quote from his story "Welcome To The Monkey House" that I hope you will enjoy:) :
"...ethical birth-control pills, the only legal form of birth control, made people numb from the waist down.
Most men said their bottom halves felt like cold iron or balsawood. Most women said their bottom halves felt like wet cotton or stale ginger ale. The pills were so effective that you could blindfold a man who had taken one, tell him to recite the Gettysburg Address, kick him in the balls while he was doing it, and he wouldnt miss a syllable.
The pills were ethical because they didnt interfere with a persons ability to reproduce, which would have been unnatural and immoral. All the pills did was take every bit of pleasure out of sex.
Thus did science and morals go hand in hand."
