No options to try another medication? What's it for? (Heard of methotrexate but can't recall what kind of med it is)

I'm sorry. I don't have any suggestions in this area--I've had that problem from meds before (Lexapro) and there wasn't really anything I could do about it except go off the med or change it. It was really frustrating though, I'd get all aroused but could never make it over the top. Arrgh. I feel you! Sorry to hear!

Yeah it's pretty crazy I really dont have that choice alongside other problems the most serious is i lost all the feeling on the right side of my body. I could still move to get a round but i'm guessing thats still is not too cool so they put mt on this med

Dang. Have you discussed it with your doc? Let him know the side effect is bothering you? Maybe he would have some ideas that are helpful. I've heard of them prescribing Viagra for women or something like that...I don't think it's very common but I've heard it's worked for some. Or use a vibrator and see if that helps? When I was on the Lexapro, it made it very, very difficult to orgasm, but if I got tons and tons of stimulation I eventually could. It also helped if we didn't have sex as often, it would give it more time to build up, so to speak. Is there any possibility of taking a "drug holiday" now and then, with your doc's permission? Like a weekend or something to give you a little fun?

i will ask about the drug holiday thing with the doctor. i tried throwing in the vibrator even using stimulating gel no help. He my partner does not believe in not doing it every day or as often I told him some people only do it a couple times a week he thinks i'm lying. I do know that would help not doing it as often but not a option with him. And the dr.s know i have sexual problems one the drug this is my 2nd time on it they're reply is i'e been on all other treatments there is and this is it. But i am literally going crazy I am on edge I feel like a coffee pot just boiling just cant explode driving me crazy. Now we are fighting even I almost think i have to go off the drug but both dr.'s say my problems are life threatening
