Hello, you all.
My partner has been taking Prozac for a little while now, because of her depression, and it obviously had its toll on her libido and arousal. While she can experience sexual desire again, she still has a lot--a whole lot of difficulty reaching orgasm when masturbating. It's nigh impossible.
We both know it is a "normal" sideffect of all SSRI drugs, but it is unfair for her, to say the least. She has inquired about Wellbutrin (another antidepressant that does not affect arousal or libido) but it apparently would be no real good for her.
While waiting for the sideffects to "calm down," if one can say so, I would like to know what any of you would suggest.
I am considering getting her some kind of arousal gel to see if it could help her. The tricky part is that she is very sensitive to anything minty (mild form of allergy I believe), so I am not sure what to pick for her. Any directions, tips, or bits of personal experience would be greatly appreciated.
