What Happens When You Miss Your Meds?

[Marlene]

When I was on klonopin (anti-anxiety) and I was even late taking a dose (four doses a day) I could feel my anixety climb the scale pretty damned quickly. It was like someone flipped a switch in my brain. Missing a dose was not a pretty sight.

I knew a man who took anti-depressants and he had the same problem I did...no climax. I found it frustrating as hell and that's one of the reasons I switched from paxil to wellbutrin. Then the wellbutrin made me sick and I got off of it, too. Actually I went from anti-depressants to smoking. As bad as the cigs are, they worked better for me than the meds. I've been a non-smoker for over four years now...but I still crave it when my stress and anxiety go up.

...Well, I want to know if it effects the mans sexually also???? If so, how????

The same way as a female, no orgasms :dontknow:

Like I said in a prior post, I work 3rd shift so and I take my meds in the morning (my morning when I wake up around noon). My days off are set to Thursday and Friday, so when I wake up Thursday morning I don't take my medication, so Thursday night when I am with my wife, me not having an orgasm won't be an issue. Then Friday morning I wake up and back on the medication. It seems to work for me at the moment, and I don't have any real issues skipping one days worth of medications.

Depends on which one I miss-if I skip the beta blocker the heart pounds out and my anxiety goes off the hook.
Skip a dose of Trazodone if I want to stay up all night...
I'm starting to dislike pills. Feel weak for taking them sometimes.

Myself, I call it being "Chemically Castrated". I used to have sex 3 to 5 times per week as a norm. Now it's once a month, at most, and that is usually a fleeting afterthought like, "Oh well, I'm bored, it's 2:00 in the morning and there's nothing on TV... WTH?!" ;P

No, women are not the only ones to suffer this.

When I miss a day or two of my Geodon, my threshold of anxiety becomes much higher (or is that lower?). I am in "fight or flight" mode at the drop of a hat.
