I was wondering, have any of you had any experience with medications worsening sa issues? My sa husband has been on a horrible combination of drugs that seem to have made this addiction worse (Cymbalta, Adderal, Rozeram, Abilify, and Mirapex). He decided to quit the Cymbalta and Abilify (without talking to a doc) and when I looked up the Mirapex (for RLS) it has lawsuits against it for compulsive behaviour issues. Anyone else have experience with these drugs and side effects?

Sorry, I haven't tried any of those medications. I've only tried certain depression medications. Prozac really does effect performance sexually. I'm on Wellbutrin now, which hasn't effected my libido at all, which it's not supposed to. It's supposed to be a good assistant with quitting smoking, too - not that I know. Either way, if it stops you from doing one thing, maybe it helps you control the other, too. LOL

this sounds like a discussion your husband should have with his doctor or pharmacist. Medications affect all of us differently. Does your husband think medications are an issue for him? If not, there isn't much you can do, except take care of yourself work on your own codependency issues.

My husband is on Effexor and Lithium. The Lithium really slows down his libido. Which made a nice drop in the amount of time he uses masturbating. The bad part is though, it also affects his orgasms, sometimes he can't even feel it, but depending on how strong your addiction is (or dangerous) it can be well worth it, especially while going thru the beginning phases of recovery.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
