Over the course of the past month, I've been gradually tapering off of Remeron. I was on 30mg, but I've been week by week tapering off (taking 15mg for a week, then 7.5mg, then 3.75mg, then nothing). I took my last 3.75mg on Thursday. I started taking no Remeron last Friday. Since then I've been having more trouble with masturbation and achieving the big "O". I'd figure with one med less, that it would be easier but it seems not to be the case. What's going on?
-
One med less, still big "O" troubles.

Sometimes one med is there simply to deal with the side-effects of another med.Usually difficulty achieving orgasm is a result of an SSRI, but none of the meds you've listed here seem to be in that category. Ativan is a strong sedative, though.

Did you taper off the Remeron with your doctor's knowledge and blessing? If not, shame on you and you're going to bed without dinner! Okay...just kidding...but seriously, you should check with your doctor about such things (and maybe you did). Sexual side effects are common and your doctor can possibly try alternate meds that are less problomatic.
Is there some reason you thought the Remeron would be the one that caused this particular side effect?

I was going off the Remeron with my doctor's knowledge because I was going hypomanic and working off the Remeron fixed that problem.
