Tramadol - Unable To Acheive Orgasm (Page 7) (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.

Thank goodness I've found and read all this. I thought I had a serious problem in loosing the sensitivity in my clitoris. I've been on Tramadol about 2 months and find it so hard to reach orgasm, even by myself it takes forever as there is very little feeling there. My partner and I are getting so frustrated. Now I know what it is I can think at least I will be 'normal' again soon!!!

I have noticed also that if I masturbate I can go pretty quick, Even on Tramadol. Having sex my penis gets erect but then I can just all of a sudden lose it. It's frustrating.
There has been a few times while masturbating that it went limp but I was still able to get off. Weird Stuff. I one had been subscribed some depression medicine and it did the same thing so I told the doctor and he switched and the new med made me go like a teenager. 1 minute maybe less.... I went back to the other.

my boyfriend has been taking Tramadol for a very long time. He has experienced issues with obtaining and maintaining an erection. It is very frustrating for us...and I am glad I found this site....Now I feel better knowing that it isn't me! I have encouraged him to look into this. Thanks for your post.

Rose, it should only take a day or two before the effects wear off.

Great to run into this discussion. I have the same problem. Been to my primary doctor, 2 urologists, and another doctor and not one of them pointed to the tramadol.
Besides what others are describing I also have been having retrograde ejaculations. Basically, nothing comes out (some men practice for this and use it as birth control, I think it's irritating and anti-climatic). Anyone else?

I have never had sexual dysfunction from opiates and have
been prescribed oxycodone,morphine, Vicodin,oxymorphone, fentanyl,etc for yrs. I am now just taking Tramadol and having sexual side effects. Does anyone know that Tramadol has ssri properties also? (antidepressant) I believe this is the cause. I have had the same problem with other antidepressants. I don't take ssri's anymore. they are also addicting.That gives Tramadol double addictive property's.

Tramadol hydrochloride (trademarked as Conzip, Ryzolt, Ultracet, Ultram in the USA, Ralivia, Zytram XL and Durella{CR-100/200mg} in Canada) is a centrally acting synthetic analgesic used to treat moderate to moderately severe pain.
Tramadol is a very weak μ-opioid receptor agonist, induces serotonin release, and inhibits the reuptake of norepinephrine.[3][4] Tramadol is converted to O-desmethyltramadol, a significantly more potent μ-opioid agonist. The opioid agonistic effect of tramadol and its major metabolite(s) is almost exclusively mediated by such μ-opioid receptors. This further distinguishes tramadol from opioids in general (including morphine), which do not possess tramadol's degree of receptor subtype selectivity and which are much stronger opiate-receptor agonists. Similarly, the habituating properties of tramadol (such as they are) are arguably mainly due to μ-opioid agonism with contributions from serotonergic and noradrenergic effects.

I love Tramadol, but it kills libido and ability to reach orgasm.

I take tramadol for about 10 days straight with a 22 day prescription (100-150 mg every 4-6 hours when the script is for 50mg every 6 hours, I kind of abuse this medication a little bit) I take it for peripheral neuropathy in my toes.
I experience no withdrawal symptoms at all after running out at the 10 day point.

For those who asked how long it takes to wear off... I stopped Tramadol over two months ago. It took a month for libido to improve. And now, 2 months, it's much better, but not 100%.

yawning is an early symptom of opioid withdrawal. Tramadol is a weak opioid agonist,and can precipitate dependence in some people,especially those that are addictive prone,or in recovery for opiate dependence/addiction....same thing to me,dependant just sounds less stigmatic.Not scheduled controlled substance in USA yet, it is in other countries and will be in the USA soon. It seems to have an immediate ssri effect, which puzzles me a bit, as other ssri's take 3-4 weeks to kick in.
