So hopefully no-one will be offended. But I find that when around one year ago, I tried both Bromocryptine for the male breast enlargement problem (apparently due to the risperdal I was on); as well, at around the same time, I tried Geodon to replace a couple other meds. Now here's the weird part. One or both of them made me really nervous, there is a pretty high chance it was the Bromocryptine since it is supposedly not recommended to take it with psych meds (I didn't find this out until later). Or it could have been the Geodon. But the main point is, also at the same time as taking these new meds, I started having big-time inhibited orgasm. And, now that I have been off both of them for almost a year, I STILL HAVE INHIBITED ORGASM! I am also on Lamictal, Effexor, Seroquel and Risperdal, which probably most of these cause this problem, but it wasn't that bad until I took the Geodon and the Bromocryptime.
Does anyone know what the heck is going on??? [Note: nothing else has changed, for example I did not lose or gain a girlfriend at any time during the past year, have had the same stressors I always have had, etc].

excuse my lack of knowledge but what is inhibited orgasm???
PPP~~~

Hi PollyPrissyPants,
that is a funny name.
Inhibited orgasm is basically that the orgasms do not feel as good as they should/used to.
What does it mean to be "Prissy Pants"?
I think I know what prissy means but how does it apply to pants?

what a frustrating "condition"...hope it passes quickly...curious though as to your age...could it just be an age related issue that may have been triggered by the meds?? the side effects of these drugs are sometimes not worth the benefits....when i was first diagnosed w/ depression (before they vame to realize i had bipolar) my doc was trying to find the right med for me...when he would talk about the side effects of weight gain and sexual dysfunction i asked him how on earth was that going to help my depression...i'd then just be fat and nonsexual on top of everything else...life's a trade off but sometimes the trade is just not worth it (in my ever so humble opinion)

pollyprissypants is a character on the tv show south park...my best understanding is that it's just her name (she's a doll similar to chatty cathy) but a prissypants is a girl who's a priss....also i would guess that it stems from the ruffley panties little prissy girls wore in the way back...never gave it much thought before you asked, just thought the name was a hoot...

best of luck sorting through your concerns...sorry i dont have any real help to offer...

My guess would be the effexor. I recently stopped taking it because I was having a bunch of side effects (sexual, twitching,itching,insomnia and dizziness) anyway, I was totally 100% unable to orgasm no matter what. It was like I was totally numb.. how frustrating. I stopped the effexor 5 days ago and what do you know.. I am cured!!!! yahoooo!!!

No interest in having sex here!!!!!!!I still find myself lookin at pics and sayin someone looks good all that still works!!! just no interest in puttin any enegry into makin it happen...Orgasm takes forever to happen then it really isnt even as intense as before!!!!!! I just tell myself...... Sometimes you have to make trade offs and this is one of them.I just hope i dont have to be on this for a long time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am in week 3 of takin zoloft 50 mg's and {day 6 of takin} trazodone 100 mgs at night.My mood is up during the day and i am sleeping very good at night so for now thats enough.I cant stop takin meds right now so i have to tell myself somethin cause this is not somethin i am gonna be able to live with for too much longer!!!!! No sexual desire will eventually throw me into a depression no med will touch.That im sure of!!!! My goal is to work on changing my inner dialouge..So that when the time comes to come off the pills i wont be left with an emptiness Iwill have created a positive outlook hold onto to that and let the pills go........Some days its hard to find the good...I find i am what i surround myself with..I am "choosing" to create positive thoughts just for today!!!!

Sounds good. I hope you aren't getting those 'electric jolts' feelings that some people get when they come off effexor.
