(NSFW) Is it harder to orgasm while on certain meds?

yes, and yes.

Yes, sadly, it’s very true. Some (many) SSRIs block the female orgasm. She can work with her doctor to try and find one that doesn’t affect her.

In the meantime, you can stimulate her manually after you have had sex. She should be able to reach orgasm that way.

Yeah, it is.

True.

Psychotropic medications are notorious for making a dent in ones libido. She should discuss this with her Doc.

Absolutely! Unfortunately some medications will delay or totally keep someone from achieving orgasm. Women don’t always realize it as we think perhaps we are hormonal or are stressed etc.

She should go see the doctor who placed her on the anti-depressant, hopefully a psychiatrist, and let him/her know of the side effect, and ask them to help her switch over to an antidepressant that will hopefully not have that side effect. It may be a trial and error process finding something that helps with the depression and doesn’t cause undoable side effects.

Everyone is different of course, but certain antidepressants are more likely to cause that problem.

Please ensure she doesn’t get off of the medication except under her doctor’s guidance and care.

Drugs.com and some other sites list medications and possible side effects.
