hey Sallie Sue,
greetings! I hope you're feeling better. About Lex and inorgasmia, here are a few things my doc told me:1. This is a bigger problem than reported, b/c many people are ashamed/embarrassed to tell
2. Sometimes you can't help this problem. But sometimes you can!
3. Try taking your daily dose in the evening. Have sex before taking the pill.
4. Give yourself a mini drug holiday once in a while to see if this helps sex. For example, if you want to have sex Sat. nite, don't take the Lex Friday, and take it after sex Sat. *** Of course, only do this WITH the concurrence of your doc. He/she may not feel this is right for you.
5. Have you talked to your doc about this? He/she may be able to suggest other options, such as switching drugs or seeing if that Avlimil stuff is OK for people on SSRI's.
Hope things work out. Take care!
