My name is Lindsey and Ive been battling generalized anxiety disorder and depression for 4 years. My PCP is absolutely patience and wonderful eith me but im starting to lose hope. Every medication that helps leaves a side effect too hard to deal with.. Here is what has been tried:(ill probably forget a few) -Lexapro(no orgasms) -Celexa(no orgasms) -Prozac(no orgasms) -Nortryptyline(sp?) (made me out of my mind) -Amitryptline(did nothing) Not having orgasms is terrible on my marriage so the trade off isnt worth it.
As of now I am on Wellbutrin(about 6 months)which helps some just not enough. This drug also causes ringing in my ears I dediced to put up with.
My PCP wanted to add something to the Wellbutrin to hep further. We tried Buspar but after a few months it quit helping. Zoloft was next which made me feel amazing but again no orgasms. Effexor came after with severe musce spasms, nightmares, and sweating. Friday she switched me to Remeron(3.75mg) and I slept for 13 hours still groggy even into today.
Im really losing hope here. Personally I loved the Zoloft but is there ANYTHING to counter the lack of orgasm? I cannot up my Wellbutrin dose or the ear ringing will become worse.
I do have Xanax on hand just in case but i really try to avoid it at all cost since it is not long term.
Does anyone have a suggestion of a new drig I could bring up to my doctor?or anything that could counter side effects? After 4 years of this mess I dont know what else to do.
Thanks for taking the time to read my long post, Lindsey
