how do you say it without just being blunt.. lack of or unabtainable orgasm? :confused: Not sure which pill might have changed ability..
Not gone all the time, but just not as easy as before or once. Could High blood pressure pill be part of problem? Just wanted to know if anyone else had same issue.

Hi 57,
What b/p meds are you on? Beta blockers are known for causing sexual problems. I'm on a apha/beta blocker called Lebetalol which has not caused any sexual difficulties for me. As you probably know, so many factors can lead to sexual problems so you have to just rule out one factor at a time. You need to get a package insert (info sheet that comes with the drug) for each med & go through the fine print & see if sexual problems are listed as side effects. These drugs cause different side effects in different people. Fam

I agree with famnd,
Just stop taking one and then another until you find out which was the offender.
Most hypertensionsion meds affect male sexuality SERIOUSLY, but I'm sure some affect women as well.
What pills are you taking...I would first suspect the beta-blockers?

Remember to check with your Dr. before stopping any b/p because you might get a re-bound hypertension (means your b/p will go higher than it was before meds) which can be very dangerous. I would check all the factors concerning sexuality before dealing with the b/p meds. For example, consider your relationship with your husband whether there is a lot of tension there etc. Fam

I have been taking the generic for Lotrel CP 5/20MG which is amlodip/Benz cp 5/20.
Thanks for the feedback. I wouldn't stop taking it for just this and no other side effects, or without checking of course with my Phy. That is only wise advice so yes, thank you on that point.
My relationship, thank goodness is very good and we have honest talks on all things too, so that isn't an issue either. It would just be nice to know if it is the drug 'side effect' or going into post menopausal changes.. etc.
The papers on h/p drugs talk about libido but nothing really ever touches the ability to obtain that climatic ending due to reduced sensitivity because of the drug. And that is more the issue then desire for it. Things can be OK, but just not as 'restful' tense ... sorry if wording is unclear.
It is hard being this honest with anyone other then my husband but I just wasn't sure if I was alone on this issue.
Is it in my head..? Is it the meds? Is it stressful days? Multiple reasons? Some girl friends I have had open chats with seem to never have problems with multiple climax's.
not sure ...
