I took 50 mg tram 3 nights as a sleep aid and could not reach orgasm two straight nights. Getting off it.
I cannot orgasm on this medication. I REFUSE to take a medication that causes sexual dysfunction or weight gain. This is is a serious bummer because it was working.
I know the feeling. Unfortunately, most antidepressants cause sexual side effects. Did you take it specifically for insomnia? And what was your dosage?
Yes!!! It is an antidepressant and has known antihistamine side effects. Both of these types of medications can cause difficulty with arousal and orgasm. I am female and took this medication for a short time for insomnia. It didn't work very well, left me cranky and grumpy the next day, and I could not get aroused or have an orgasm while on it.
Hello JRS1217. In regards to sexual issues, just under 1.3% of users complained that a lack of libido was an issue. Regards,pledge
Hi Jrs,
I have been on trazodone since 2007. I have never had that problem with that med at all. Did you change anything else like a new med or new circumstance in your life when you started trazodone?
