Physiology & Medicine / Can Amitriptyline cause increased orgasms?
« on: 24/03/2014 14:06:21 »
I know with the advent of new antidepressants, the suppression of the male orgasm is now a new topic for debate. It is unfortunately one of the potential side effects, esp. with the new class of antidepressants in use. I was actually recently discussing the matter with one of my doctors. And he remarked anyone who could find an antidote to this side effect would be a rich man (or corporation, whatever) indeed.
That's why I wonder if there isn't in fact already such a drug. Amitriptyline. It is an old class tricyclic antidepressant, rarely used today. And I took it briefly in 1989, after a suicide attempt. It produced very strong orgasms in me (yes, I was masturbating if you must know--I was still quite young then ). So much so, I literally injured whatever body part is involved in orgasms (i.e., it hurt after that). Surely if there is any drug to produce strong orgasms in the anorgasmic male, it would be Amitriptyline, no? And of course, it could always be studied to produce other drugs, I'm sure. (Let's get started then.)
Here is the Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elavil And of course, it goes without saying such a revolutionary drug could help the anorgasmic female too--where it is more prevalent anyways.
Any of the rest of you have any further thoughts on this matter?
