I started on 10mg for two weeks and have now been on 20mg for almost a week. I could still have kind of orgasms the first week I started but now can't even come close. It's really been a pain, but I still enjoy sex and this has actually helped my husband and me try some new things. He's getting a lot of extra attention in bed too since I'm more focused on him than on myself. I'm hoping that as my body adjusts to the meds more that I'll be able to orgasm again, although I know that they might not come back until I go off the meds. In the meantime, I'm trying to find things that make me feel sexy--lingerie, high heels, a bikini wax, that sort of thing. If the orgasms don't come back, that will just be one more incentive to get myself healthy and get off the meds, although at this point that seems a long way off. It is a big issue for me, but right now, the alternative is even worse. Good luck and try to keep things in perspective. I'll let you know if they come back as my body gets adjusted to the meds.
