Has My Medication Ruined My Orgasm
Learn how a woman's medication might be thieving her orgasms away for her.
Case #: 1137
Concern:
Before I take any new medication, I always ask for the list of side effects. I read each one, and I too conduct additional research on each of these possible side effects from the medicine. As a woman who is bipolar, I depend on high dosages of medications to keep me sane. After years of taking medicine for bipolar disorder, I started to notice a strange change in my body.
Discussion:
Before my diagnosis and before years of medication usage, I had strong orgasms. After a few years on the medications, I noticed my orgasms felt less and less intense. Now in my early 50s, I notice that I cannot orgasm at all. I saw the correlation between drugs and orgasm. I asked my doctor, and he too remained bewildered by my current problem. So what exactly is wrong with me?
It's hard to really pin point the medication or a specific ingredient in a medication that could be causing your orgasm difficulty. What we do know for sure is that there most definitely is a link between the two.
Precaution Is Key
Next to birth control, prescribed medications are the second most common cause for orgasm dysfunction. Both the pill and medication, can greatly damage the endocrine system in women. This will consequently prevent a woman from producing the proper amount of testosterone needed to actually make an orgasm possible. Eventually, if a female is engaging in sex on a regular basis, the low levels of testosterone will lead to vaginal numbness and clitoral desensitization.
What Needs To Happen
There are a lot of factors that go into having an orgasm, if you happen to be a woman. Sex experts say we need to keep our muscles down there tensed, while keeping relaxed mentally in order to let the pleasure wash over you. At the same time, we must try to keep our subconscious quiet during the act or we'll start thinking about all the dishes we need to wash or what work we must get done. While it is important to keep those vaginal muscles taught during the act, proper blood circulation is the star of the show when it comes to achieving orgasm and increasing vaginal sensitivity.
The Want Before The Need
Before we really get down to it in the bedroom there has to be a certain level of desire to get us in the mood. Without desire as a starting point we really have nothing. Herbal remedies that include ingredients such as Maca, Dong Quai, and Mexican Wild Yam will supply your body with nutrients for neurotransmitter production. (SEE: Natural Clitoral Revitalization) This will greatly increase the amount of pleasure you'll get out of intercourse. These herbs will also increase blood circulation in the clitoris, which as we discussed before, is key.
What Else Can I Do
I wouldn't recommend going off all of your meds cold turkey, as it could lead to serious consequences. However, I would suggest doing some in depth research to really exclude all possibilities of which one it could be. Once you've made that realization, I would have you speak with your doctor immediately to see if there may be an alternative or lower dosage out there for you.

Most modern career-oriented adults sadly discover that as life gets busier, they (and many other couples) indulge in unsatisfying goal-oriented sex. A ‘quickie’ gets the job done. But all this ‘too much’ and ‘too fast’ can numb a woman’s most...
