I have never had any problem achieving orgasm in my entire life and I am now 63 (female, athletic, in shape). This drug, at only 10MG/day, has left me a basket case. I cannot achieve orgasm no matter what I do and it's like walking around with a constant physical need that can't be satisfied. I even have SEX DREAMS!! This is beyond awful. Other side effects: increase in PVCs (benign) which abated when I added 1/2 of a 25MG Toprol; constipation (even on as little as 10MG), I have to eat pr... View full comment

The worst idea ever. I never even wanted the shot. The first shot I took for my mom but the second and third shot were forced. they held me down for those. After I got the shot I noticed I was getting sick a lot and that a cold was lasting up to a month. I started to get dizzy spells. I would get up and couldn't because I would almost fall down. I would even carefully get up slowly but nothing would work. I don't feel the need to eat because most food makes me want to vomit now. I love food,... View full comment
