Unhappy This is about sexual side effects...

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].

Cool Re: This is about sexual side effects...

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?

Re: This is about sexual side effects...

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...
PPP~~~

Unhappy Re: This is about sexual side effects...

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!!!
