Title: Topama and Sex -Seriously
Post by TomM on Aug 17th, 2007, 11:06am
OK...we're all adults here.  
So...anyone notice that sex is, well, different. Does not feel as good and the climax is not as climatic?    :-[
Seriously.  The climax is there but feels different.

I had additional problems when on Topomax.
I couldn't tell if my member was effected from that or the verapamil.
topomax just mademe really depressed, dumb and confused.

Sorry brother, I don't remember any specific feelings.

Good luck!

In all  seriousness Tom, as a woman who was on dopeymax, I can't remember if I DID have sex. And if I did, I probably didn't remember what to do while doing it.

Not much help I know   :-/

Btw: nice to meet ya.

Yup, definitely one of the side effects for me. nothing was ever quite as good when I was on it. Killed the beast though.

Boy, this shit sounds like a candidate for the "when all else fails" list.

Brew:

All other prevents failed for me.  I saw a neuro yesterday for the first time and said the only thing I hadn't tried was Topamax, and I don't want to.  The Dr agreed with me.  FYI

I used topamax for 3 cycles and it worked so well that I don't remember 9 months of my life...So I really can't tell you about the sexual side effects...only about the memory loss...but it sure was a silver bullet for awhile...not so much anymore if fact i think it extended my last cycle....idk

Hey Tom,
Not sure if you are directing this only to the men, but I am on topamax and have been before this round....I am up to 200mgs. a day and will probably stay here.  I don't have any problems with sex or climax.  I do however have the short term memory loss.  It is worth it for me to lose my memory in exchange for less CH's.  I think everyone is different.....It has been my miracle drug so far.

 Hell .. I would trade what little short term memory I have left and give up any sexual needs or pleasures ; if it took away my pain... But never helped me , dam it !

First, Thanks for all the responses. I would rather give up SEX  to eliminate CH ANY day! Period. So, having said that, looks like I'm a senseless BINGO agent.   ;) Knowhatimean?

JenniferD---I beleive we met on-line a few years back. I've been here since '98. The pleasure is mine to meet you again. As I recall, you live near Tapphanock, VA. Right?

Alicia--I was not necessarily asking just the men. A womans perspective is just as important and I value it. After all, hers is 50% of the fun.  ;;D

Lenny, Phil, Wayne--Thank you. I tried Verapamil and hated it. I am getting accustomed to Topamax.

E-Double--I hit that link. Thank you. Kinda nice to know it's not just me....

If I remember correctly (remember? on topamax? HAH!), I had little interest in sex on topamax.  As I wasn't seeing anyone at that time, I doubt I even tried for the big O....

Hmmm...I want to but am losing interest.  Not having any issue with functioning, if you know what I mean.

Sex is a bigtime trigger for me Tom, but like some of the others said, including yourself, if the dopomax works, fuck the sex.

If you get weak in the hips, you can get strong in the lips  ;;D

Pf wishes headed over my friend,
