Tramadol - Unable To Acheive Orgasm (Page 6) (Top voted first)

Updated

Anyone else experiencing this side effect? Not a normal topic of discussion for me with anyone but my doctor. I found this drug to be very helpful with easing pain, no sedating effect, BUT after taking this medication discovered I was unable to acheive orgasm. It took me a while to figure out it was the Tramadol causing the problem.

well done to you chas, i don't know if im strong enough like you too come off of tramadol, i too have been on them for 3 years and have not made love since that time, what do you use for the pain instead of tramadol??, are you still feeling the down side of not taken them or can you see light at the end of the tunnel?,kind regards Dee

I started taking them for shoulder pain and realised that they helped me with mild social anxiety, so I kept taking them.
I actually no longer have pain I just liked the way they seemed to allow me to socialise more and talk to people easier.
At this point though I am just interested in getting back to who I was and I pray the drug hasn't screwed me up somehow that I will find out later.
I'm looking for detox tea today and I am going to amp up my workouts to produce good feeling endorphins and get my mind off the sadness that comes on.
I feel for those of you with pain and I feel there have got to be better ways. Perhaps a naturalpathic doctor can recommend some healthy ways to releive pain like exercise, nutrition, supplements and massage.
Good luck and thanks for replying to me.

i'm really scared to go off of Tramadol now as well. I've heard it's pure agony for about a week.
Hoiwever, they now have that new treatment where you sleep until you get off of it (until the opiates get off of the receptors)... I'm up to at least 60/day. I don't get high off of them anymore, so I'm going to try to "wean" myself off of them. It worked the last time.

I have similarly noticed this problem when I upped the Tramadol from one to two per day because of a broken fibula and subsequent repair surgery. I am limited as to what I can take for pain because of a kidney problem. For what it is worth -- Tramadol is known to have an antidepressant effect. It is a mild inhibitor of serotonin and norepinephrine. Anorgasmia is a classic symptom of other well known SSRI antidepressant meds. Think of it this way -- you will feel good about not being able to have satisfying sex! Pick your poison, amigos.

UUmmmm. I have found that my body is very used to the tram after 2 years and it remains the same that it is extremely difficult to achieve orgasm. I WILL SAY, that after working for it, when you do have it, is is one of the strongest and satisfying orgasms I've ever had in my life.

Anyone wishing to 'detox' from Tramadol without having to suffer the full on withdrawal symptoms should take either Nurofen Plus or Cupfrofen Plus.

They will take quite alot of the edge of from the shakes, nausea, chills, sweats, fatigue etc etc as they contain 12.8mgs of Codeine Phosphate and 200mgs of Ibuprofen.

After about 3/4 days of taking nothing but the Nurofen/Cuprofen Plus as a dose of no more than 6 a day, you will notice when you cease taking them you will not have any withdrawals AND the withdrawals from the Tramadol have passed also.

I hope this benefits anyone wishing to rid themselves of Tramadol. It's worked exceptionally well for me a few times. Bear in mind it takes the edge off, not completely stops the withdrawals.

Also, yes it has the same effect on me with regards to being unable to achieve climax! No real issues on erections, just less sensitive.

But the drug is a very strong analgesic so no wonder!

Absolute nightmare, especially when the girl you're having sex with is questioning if it's anything to do with her! :-S

For me it's been a while now since getting off. Amazingly I feel great, am not depressed nor constipated anymore and my sex life is back!
I take advil for the shoulder pain I have. If you can get off that drug I urge you to do so. You will get your life back.

Tramadol/ I have totally lost interest in sex since taking Tramadol ( & Lyrica ) blood tests show my testosterone is low, so i was sent to see a endo-ist but i now have to wait three months before i go back for bloods,the thing with this medication is that it works on pain, but has side effects, it can send you high then low, does anybody else keep fidgeting with their hair ?? or get sores in their hair, or even in my case have their hair falling out ?? i am not to suprised that it can make you high because there are five E,s in the shell,the ones i take are produced in Germany.
Warm Regards, Stephen.
