Yeah, not Marvin Gaye style, unfortunately. Not exactly.
So I have a girlfriend of two and a half years or so. Things are great everywhere except in the bedroom.
I take 40 mgs of Citalopram, an antidepressant, every day. I am chronically clinically depressed to the point that after skipping a couple of days I basically can't function. Unfortunate side effect: when I do take it every day, my dick can't function.
Oh, it gets itself excited enough to be useful, but sex doesn't really feel good. It kind of feels like my dick isn't attached to my body. It takes me forever to finish, sometimes (often) I can't. I can still j/o though, which really doesn't help the situation when she finds out, as you can probably imagine.
I tried splitting the pill in half and spreading the dose around over the course of the day, but it hasn't made a difference.
My basic plan is to talk to my doctor about medication alternatives, but I don't have much hope that a different med will do the trick. I've been on some kind of SSRI like this for almost a decade and they've all had a similar effect. It's a catch 22- take the pill, can't fuck, don't take the pill, can't function.
Anybody else been in a similar situation?
