Climax symptoms and conditions

I've been on it for 4 months, and I have noticed a marked difference in the quality and quantity of my orgasms, as well as ability and speed of arousal. The orgasms are not as intense, and it's more difficult to achieve multiples. Also, it takes longer to reach climax. My boyfriend wonders why I don't go "nuts" with him, and he thinks it's him, so it effects his arousal level too. I will be stopping Aviane after this period.

i was on the depo shot, and LOVED it! for the first few months i spotted All throughout the month which got really annoying, but after a few months my periods stopped completely!! it was AMAZING!!!! i didn't gain any weight on the shot, but i was Always hungry and Never felt full. after going off of the shot i still didn't have a period at all for like 3 or 4 months! :D .... but then.... i started bleeding ALL the time. off one week, on for a whole week, off one week, on for a whole week...etc. this happened for 2 to 3 months. finally i went a gyn and she recommended that i go on yaz to regulate my period. ... it worked for a little while, but for the passed 3 or 4 months i bleed at least twice a month! both for about a week at a time. this sucks!! and sadly any hormone makes me a little moody :/ i was at a really steady weight of 111 and sky rocketed to 120 when i went on the pill. i go to the gym at least 2 to 3 times a week (as i did before i started the pill)... and im down to 115. but it seems to want to stay at 115 :/ so still a little weight gain involved. sometimes my sex drive is super amazing to where i almost climax at the snap of a finger. but lately... a lot lately, its almost impossible to climax! :( which is super disappointing and frustrating!. (any advice for the climaxing part? :( lol seriously. ) ... i don't want to go off of birth control, because sadly i Hate rubbers! my mom wanted me to try microgestin cause i bleed a lot on yaz, but those pills don't look or sound appealing to me. any suggestions?? lol... overall i would recommend either yaz or the depo shot. both have ups and downs. :)

I've been on flomax for about a year (possibly 2, I forget). After 2 weeks it improved the ability to urinate and decreased needed trips in the night. Definitely decreases semen volume, but definitely does not decrease libido in me, nor decrease firmness of erections. Makes ejaculation more difficult (although that could have another cause as well, frequency of ejaculates). I take 1 per day. Would like to have quicker, not less quick, climax/ejaculation events, but the drug helps with the enlarged prostate-caused urine problems. Age 64.

This is crazy...I had this IUD place on 12-2-08 exactly 1 month later to the date & I'm starting to experience some if not all of the same symptoms I'm reading about. My husband had a vasectomy after our last child so, I'm not using it for BC but, more less because I had such horrible periods. So, in order to bypass a hysterectomy my Kaiser doctor suggested Mirena. The procedure was painful even with the anesthetic I was like oh my Gosh!! (I wasn't even told to come back in 6 weeks to have a checkup only if I was having problems) I had cramping for about 1 day then after that I thought all was good. Well, that's what I thought until my husband and I had sex since the procedure. During the climax I experienced such a painful feeling in my uterus as if it was spasms, squeezing or a really hard cramp. The pain was so severe I had to stop in the middle of sex & couldn't continue. It did this about once or twice every time we had sex then, it stopped. Now the sex is amazing. My SEXUAL DRIVE has really increased. About a week ago, I was feeling overwhelmed with my daughter's Bday & Xmas. I was really tired just really exhausted. I stayed in the house for 3 days straight. Didn't feel like getting out of bed, getting dressed, going anywhere, cooking or doing anything. I just wanted to lay in bed. I really didn't know or understand what was going on. I told my husband I didn't feel depressed or nothing I just didn't feel like doing anything. Well, now I know I was depressed. I've never felt or had any experience of this sort. Then, on yesterday I had alot of lower back pain, headaches along with cramping in my R-ovary. Not to mention the irregular spotting since the IUD has been placed. I knew I would have irregular spotting but, how long is irregular going to be irregular. And after reading several blogs I'm starting to reconsider this. I"ve had alot of issues with BC starting with the pills (forgetting to take them), the DEPO shot (would not recommend to a dog), the Patch & now the Mirena. MayB, it's time to leave all of this along and just get the hysterectomy. But, wait won't that throw me into menopause at an early age. I'm only 31. Not sure what to do?

i had the most painful and frightening episode last night. thank god for the internet....the zocor stops today....after only a week or so of low dose....severe leg ,inner thigh muscle cramps and then last night...i must speak frankly,at the end of normal sexual relations, my climax spasm transitioned into a groin and lower stomach cramp that made me roll off the bed in pain and confusion,never have i felt such horrible mind numbing pain....took about ten minutes for spasm to release,still awful sore this morning....it's oatmeal and more swimming for me...just the memory of the pain and helplessness in the midst of it make me nauseous.

well i have no sexual desire and it is really hard for me to climax which sucks since im only 19 and i have been with my boyfriend for 4 yrs. he is so good to me and is really understanding. i am going to my doctor tomorrow to try something different ... i am only slightly depressed so this is completely not worth it .. it is really taking a toll on me and our sexual relationship. also i feel that with lamictal i am at such a constant experiencing euphoria is almost impossible. i just cant do it anymore ... it is more depressing then how i actually felt depressive wise before i took this medication. and let me tell u i have been on this for a while and it seems that the lack of desire seems to get worse everyday

I have been on Paxil for about 9 months now (20mg) and it has been a wonderful aid to my severe health anxiety and depression. Though the side effect have been around since the early months I have noticed an increase in them lately such as my vivid dreams have gotten very strong, ability to climax has decreased, but the insane sweating has improved.

All in all there a lot of side effects related to this medicine but in my opinion they do not come close to out weighing the benefits of the medication.

Before you begin this medication make sure you ask you doctor lots of questions and understand that this medicine can be a bit life changing since it comes with withdrawal when you decide to tapper off. But in my opinion it is a great tool when battling anxiety, another great tool is therapy too! Therapy has been a huge help for me and I totally recommend going to see someone if you are able!

Hope this helps.

I am 38 years old and was on Yasmin for 3 years to control ovarian cysts that kept bursting. It kept good control of my acne, but I had no sex drive, horrible facial hair, no vaginal lubrication, and extreme pain during sex especially climax. Finally, 2.5 years ago, I suffered from right-side paralysis which ended up sending me to the hospital. My potassium levels were so low that my I was suffering from neuorlogical problems that they initially thought I was having a stroke at the hospital. Taking potassium did not keep my potassium levels up while still taking Yasmin, so I finally went off it. The literature does mention that one may suffer from low potassium, but even taking supplements did not allow me to keep my potassium levels up enough. I am getting an IUD put in place on Thursday and hopefully this will take its place well enough!

Hi all! I'm 22 and will be starting on my 3rd Yaz cycle...I have noticed a few things about this drug...My PMDD symptoms have seemed to decline quite a bit-although i still get very emotional. My acne has slightly cleared up and my periods last 4 days the most with minimal cramps. I have been experiencing muscle spasms in my calves but this may also be from not having enough potassium in my diet. My biggest concern however, would be the decrease in my sex drive...Yaz was the last thing my boyfriend and i thought it could be but the more we read about it, the more we are convinced. I literally went from having sex a few times a day to not wanting to be bothered with it. this is lame, i'm young and enjoy being fun and playful and spontaneous with my boyfriend but no matter how hard we try, I can't reach climax (something that was never a problem before). since this is the only oral contraceptive I have tried that hasn't given me nausea or headaches, i am hoping this libido change will go back to normal. if it doesn't by the end of this cycle i will have to try something else. any ideas?

I'm a 30 year old woman and I've been taking Yasmin for 4 months now. I've been reading what people have been posting here and I'm wondering if I'm alone in having the following symptoms:
-severe breast pain for one day in the middle of my cycle, followed by mild breast pain until I get my period,
-painful cramps in the middle of my cycle,
-weird sharp internal vaginal pain, (sorry for the graphics, but especially during climax),
-acne problems,
-depression
The last two, I did see that people wrote about on here. I called my doctor today and I'm requesting a new pill. I thought that after a couple of months the symptoms would equalize, but after this last month, I decided I couldn't live with it. The breast pain especially has been very painful.

i am a 43 yr old male.........i was put on 100mg a day of metoprolol and it did the job of lowering my blood pressure and heart rate. however after about a year of taking the meto my orgasms would take anywhere from 1.5 to 2.5 hours to achieve. at first it was nice to go longer tham usual, but it has became a problem for myself and my wife. i sometimes think i will have a heart attack trying to release, we go thru bottles of lube to keep her from hurting, and my mood became very bad, i was looking for things to complain about, threatening people at work and so on. i started weening myself off meto 2 weeks ago my dividing the pills in half, and went to see my doctor this week. he prescribed lisinopril 10mg and had me divide my metoprolol in half again for another week. already my moods are 100% better, but i still have trouble achieving climax with sex in timely fashion. i hope that problem goes away soon. i am curious, am i the only male here having problems climaxing?

I have been on Flowmax almost a year. It solved the hard to go problem almost immediately. I do not have any problem going to the bathroom and usually make it through the night now without having to get up. I do not have a particularly hard time getting an erection, but I have notice a much lower ejaculation and less satisfying climax. But age could also be a factor for me at 64. For the most part I like what Flowmax did for me. Before the doc put me on Flowmax there would be times I had a hard time urinating and it was scary. For me I will have to continue using the drug.

I've been on Flomax almost a month now and am pissing like a teen ager once again. I am 60 years old and have had BPE for several years, Tried saw palmetto with no results. Within a day of beginning Flomax, I noticed a much improved pee stream, started easier, finished when I was empty not when I was tired of straining.

Sexually, I still achieve a satisfying climax; however, there is zero ejaculate. But, I am well beyond that time when I want to conceive a child, so this is no biggie as long a s the orgasms are satisfying.

I have read many of the horror stories of the guys (and girls) posted here and feel truly lucky I am able to tolerate the medication as well as I do. One could get the impression from reading here that the drug is very dangerous with many serious side effects, but then again, generally only those with a problem typically will be found posting to sites like this one.

I've been using yaz for about 3 weeks; I am 27 years old and am a newly wed. I have seen a dramatic decrease in my sex drive, which, of course is a major issue for my husband and me. Since I have been on it, I have had no desire, not climax, nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-(

See, I'd really started to like it... it is the only hormonal birth control that I have tried that has not made me have frequent head and stomach aches- I've tried abstinence, the diaphragm, ortho, ortho lo, the ring, IUD, abortion, rhythm, withdrawal, the pill. No Avail.

...Oh, well, on to find another method- one that does give those of us who have issues with hormonal birth control headache and body aches, one that is simple, and does not kill embryos (thank you, Jesus)!

I Timothy 3:16
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
We serve a mighty God. Mighty enough to create the entire universe, and come down, as a man and live on His earth, still having all power in His hand, die, and rise again, leaving His spirit to dwell until He returns again.
What a mighty God we serve.

After taking Topamax for six months, I found my self different person.... I started feeling this way just in the first few weeks after I started the medication, but the simptoms incleased with the time....Anxiety, nervousness, panick attacks, negative thinking and depression....crying, making up problems from nothing, hair loss also....I decided to stop it, slowly and without any concequences I thought I am out of it....But just a couple weeks I stop it is I noticed some red spots on my skin on the lower legs, soon they became more and stronger..... Two months later I was in abnormal stress that I am going to be sick from a terrible desease... Read so much on Internet.... I can explain how terrible I felt and even though I did blood tests (everything was in normal range!!) and spoke with so many doctors, nobody could tell me what exactly is wron with me. One Dermatologist named the skin problem as Progressive Pigmentary purpura and gave me a cream for that. Thanks a lot for that because the spots started desapearing, but it may come again.... nobody knows for sure.... I think this is another side effect of Topamax, that nobody had before..... Please tell me if somebody else had the same situation... I will feel much more relieved....

been on Celexa for 3 months now. started at 20 mg now at 40
no more morning axaity, feel happy more often, but with all the side effects I don't think it's worth it. my doctor is now weaning me off it. going to try Wellbutrin next.

My doctor put me on Neurontin for nerve damage to my foot related to heel spur surgery. I started taking it on the 17th of this month with it having no effect on the pain (I was only taking one dose a day at 300 mg). He has since upped me to 300 mgs twice a day. I am now having problems with bladder control, infrequent headaches, sleeplessness, inability to climax and horrible bloating and gas. If I hadn't been on other pain meds for the past 8 months, I would stop taking it. Any suggestions?

Wow... the JOINT pain... I was wondering why it hurt to walk sometimes.. my hips and pelvic muscles have ached off and on for the past week and I couldn't figure out why... and now I know!

Sex seems to be getting better.. I actually was able to climax :) :) :) and my appetite is improving, I'm gaining the weight back that I lost. I think for me it was a matter of letting my body adjust to the hormones.

I can't say I personally agree with the hair loss, I've heard it's a possible side effect but I lose a lot of hair every morning so for me this is normal. I've not noticed an increase in this area. Skinwise, my skin was awful last January, but going to my family doctor, she prescribed a couple of creams for me that have really helped. I had it bad on my face, my chest and my back, but it's cleared up really well now.

Still on my period... it's officially two weeks now. :( It can end ANYTIME now.

Hi,

You name it, I had it. Fatigue, Headaches, Racing heart, palpitations, chest pain, naseau, sleeplessness, melasma. This is the second time this has happened to me. The first time was in 2003 on Ovcon. My gyn then put me on Aviane, a generic brand with lower hormone levels. A year later I went to and endocronolic specialist, who decided to put me on Yasmine, not sure why, but like so many people, I did as I was told (blind trust). I just this month reached the climax of my symptoms and decided to see a doctor. Just as someone else posted, the first thing they said was ANXIETY. They said I have been on Yasmine to long to just now start feeling side effects. I gave a rundown of everything I was feeling and they sent me for blood work.

Results are I am enemic. I have an iron deficiency. This I knew from my younger years. What I am curious about, is whether or not Yasmine has an effect on the level of iron in your blood. Can it worsen your enemia?

I have been on the Nuvaring for about 4 months now, but have only been experiencing problems about the last month....i went through major depression the 3rd month and this month i have had trouble reaching climax, i started early, and my mood swings are the worst. Ive been engaged now for 1 week and it has been the worst week ever! I cant remember the last time we had a decent night together. I just blow up over something that usually isnt that big of deal! It's gotten REALLY bad! I was even breaking stuff and yelling lastnight, and I'm not that kind of person AT ALL. My boyfriend told me that i haven't been myself and we almost called the engagement off! The day before yesterday i got a horrible cramp in my side and i couldnt move, and today i have horrible nausea! I thought the nuvaring was the best thing ever but i have to find something else FAST! Its nice to see I'm not the only one experiencing problems with this!

I'm a female I think of sex but can never climax anymore no matter what my husband and I do, before it was all we could do to stop.

Hello Everyone,

I attempted to post some of my symptons, last week, but apparently, they're lost on this site somewhere. I've been on Yasmin, for about 3yrs, just about, and started seeing symptons after about 6 months, and they really stepped up after 1yr, thought I knew was related to my pill, but I thought that they would level out, whenever my hormones adjusted. I guess not! I was just floored when I found this site. I had made a decision to stop taking Yasmin, as I was convinced that it was the root of all my evil, literally! I will just give you a quick cap on a few of my symptons. They are, as follows:
* Excessive Weight Gain ( I was always a small girl even after my pregnancy) (20lbs in 1.5yrs)
*Lost Labido (It's like playing hide and seek with your own body)
*Pain, nausea & occasional vomiting following CLIMAX ( a real Sexual killer)
*Increased Acne
* Killer MOOD SWINGS!!!! (Nobody would even touch me before they were sure I had my coffee!)(BAD Mornings)
*Increased hunger ( I was never satisfied)
*Loss of Energy
*Loss of sexual and normal touch sensation
* Cervical Displasia- level IV ( w/in 1 year of a healthy pap)
I was told that this was the fort knox of all bc. Why would my doctor prescribe me bc, which has not been tested more extensively, on the side effects. I am so shocked. I trusted what my doctor said. I am hoping, well not hoping, that somebody out there has had the pain and nausea after climax. My doctor told me that I might be allergic to my partners sperm, even though he had no issue climaxing. It was only when I did the deed. It was even more severe about a week prior to my cycle. I thought that I was loosing my mind, or phsycologically creating my own disease. My doctor had never heard of such pains in relation to intercourse. I told one of my best friends about this site, since her doctor just prescribed her Yasmin. She has enough issues of her own. She definitely does not need more.
I am nearing 3wks free from Yasmin, and I have noticed an enormous change in my appetite, labido ( not to mention, no more pains), moods, and my energy levels. I feel so great. Now, I just have to find another way, not to get pregnant. I just hope and pray that I don't suffer hair loss, headaches, or heart palpitations. That would just put icing on the cake. I pray for a speedy recovery, for everyone affected by this poison.
Intrigued!!

sexual side effects, fall asleep all of the time. Cannot even watch tv without falling asleep, no matter what time of day. Also I have noticed that I cannot have climax while having sex, as I have not had any problem. Hope to hear from you. I thank you in advance

There is always a metallic taste in my mouth. Increase in number of bowels movements a day. No erectile dysfunction but decreased sensation during climax. Already gained 5 pounds with same diet
