My depression medications are causing problems in achieving orgasm. Is this temporary?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

• First of all, I would like to inform you that it cannot be considered normal and it is probably the side effect of the medication. Clonil (Clomipramine) is a well-established cause for delayed ejaculation in men and the same can be expected for females as in your case. However, I would like to comment that it is temporary and the withdrawal of medication, a reduction of dose or the passage of time may help you in regaining orgasm.

• Regarding the anxiety treatment, as stated above, not everybody requires treatment. In case it is too much, then the option of changing the medication can be explored. There are multiple medications which can be used instead of Clonil. I often use Pristiq (Desvenlafaxine), Effexor (Venlafaxine), Milnacipran in such cases and get good results.

• However, I must acknowledge that every medication has pros and cons and it should be used after a thorough discussion.

I hope this answers you. Feel free to write back to me or book a consultation if you have more questions.
