This really sucks.

Ok, it’s not the end of the world, but it’s in the Top 40 with a bullet.  
A few years back (pre-medication times) I could have at for 20-30 minutes, no problem. It didn’t take that long if I just _Punished the Bunny_, but rather if I was engaged in actual intercourse.

Which was all well, fine and dandy.

I’m currently taking Adderol and Effexor for depression/ADD. The medications can have _sexual side effects_, which, depending on your point of view, may be great or horrible.

Basically, I can’t have an orgasm while on my meds. I can pound away for upwards of 45 minutes and while someone else had 4 orgasms, I had none. This upset her, so she wanted me to _“manually relase”_ myself.

Fine, I’ll give it a shot.

**40 minutes later** I finally orgasmed. Thank Og 'cause another five minutes and I would have sprained something in my wrist. **And my wrist was sore for 2 days afterwords**.

However, when I went off my meds for a bit I couldn’t last more then 5 minutes without blowing my load, with both _Bunny Punishing_ and intercourse.  
Meh.☹ :mad:

Talk to your doctor. Maybe there’s an alternative drug without the side effects.

I agree with LA, I’ve heard that this is one of the side effects of such drugs (I’ve also heard of impotence).  
I don’t know if either of these will help, but here are a few links:  
[eMedicine](http://www.emedicine.com/)  
[Drug Information](http://www.rxlist.com/)

(I don’t think you can actually “order” any drugs from either of these sites, so I think they’ll be okay)
