New med is great except sexual SE's! Grr! I have been taking Cymbalta for a while now, and it has worked wonders for me. My depression has pretty much disappeared, I have tons of energy, and I finally feel like my life is back on track. The only problem is that I've been having a lot of trouble reaching orgasm, especially when df decides that he doesn't want any help, if you know what I mean. It is really starting to bother me that he always gets his, and I am going without mine more and more often. On top of that, he is in law school, so he doesn't have the time to just stop everything else and have sex when I'm in the mood and am more likely to be able to get there.
It's so frustrating, but I'm SO afraid of switching meds. I was in such a horrible place before and I just don't want to go back there. The thought of having to give yet another antidepressant a trial run that goes horribly makes me want to cry. I CAN'T go back.... I just hate it that I feel so "broken" and it makes me want to just give up on sex until (and if) I can get off the Cymbalta. (My psychiatrist wants to try to wean me off in a year, but she said that it's always possible that I may have to take it for the rest of my life.) It's so unfair, because I feel like I'm having to choose between my sanity and my sex life.... and we aren't even married yet. |
