I take depression pills - 20mg of paroxetine and 25 mg of lamotriginum a day (i know that these are small dosage, but it works for me, im sensitive as hell for medication).
The problem is sex. Paroxetine makes me NOT sensitive at all.
I still have big sex needs (i've always had...), also i have recently found a girlfriend, and i am so really attracted to her, but when she touches me it's just... meh. I can cum by myself, after looong and to be honest - not pleasurable session, sometimes it's necessary for me not to get crazy, during my period for example.
Next weekend i gonna have hot date with my sweetheart, and i completely don't know what to do. Is it possible to stop taking paroxetine for such a small amount of time to avoid withdrawal symptoms (which are awful, i've already went through this...), and gain lost sexual sensitivity? I want that night to be magical...
In a long term, i know there is a drug Wellbutrin, it fucks with depression, but it doesnt destroy fucking, unafortunately it's hella expensive, and i probably cant afford it.
I have same problem. I did paroxetin two years, i was even anorgasmic at all, effect ends after three months after paroxetin.
