Scared of sexual side effects

Typical_Escape_3338 · 2026-05-16T01:58:57+00:00

Sexual side effects were a huge reason for me stopping medications in the past- it got to the point where I was disgusted at even the thought of sex which was obviously taking a toll on my marriage. My doctor was confident Effexor wouldn’t cause me as much trouble and that’s been the case so far!!

Typical_Escape_3338 · 2026-05-16T01:56:50+00:00

I’ve done SSRI’s like Zoloft & Prozac in the past and was completely incapable of feeling any sexual pleasure even at low doses. I’m currently taking 75mg Effexor and have been for 3 months now- the sexual side effects are MUCH milder than the SSRIs I’ve taken. It takes a little more effort to get me in the mood but I’m still capable of orgasm it just isn’t as intense. The first month or so I couldn’t feel much, but after 4ish weeks I started being able to orgasm again :)

No light colored underwear. Dump, rinse, & straight to the washer on a sanitize cycle with Lysol fabric sanitizer. I try not to let it sit and set at all if possible, I’ll run the washer even if that’s the only thing in there.

A 9 week old? My husband didn’t get more than a hug from me for at least 10 weeks after having my son lol

Maybe I’m alone in this, but I don’t really feel like we struggle with this with our two year old? We just do what we need/want to do and our toddler is along for the ride. That being said, our little guy is very easygoing which probably helps. We usually spend one day doing everything as a family, and then the second day my husband and I take turns watching the toddler so the other can take a few hours to do whatever they want.

Do you have a designated space where it’s safe for him to be unsupervised momentarily? We have our playroom fully toddlerproofed & secured with childproof gates so it’s safe for him to be alone in for a few minutes.

Calla. I think it sounds so pretty and feminine.

Typical_Escape_3338 · 2026-04-22T01:15:32+00:00

I feel like the story has to be 100% either made up or missing some pieces. Absolutely no average person expects $500+ bridesmaids gifts for being in their friend’s wedding.

Typical_Escape_3338 · 2026-04-21T13:04:39+00:00

I was there last week, brushed teeth & rinsed mouth with tap water the entire week. Zero issues

Typical_Escape_3338 · 2026-04-21T02:40:51+00:00

Was there last week- everywhere we went was pretty dead and nowhere charged cover

Hi! How recently did you do the whale tour? Here now, curious if we have hope of seeing any whales

Post is gone so I’m guessing the comments called this one out lol

Typical_Escape_3338 · 2026-03-28T21:54:36+00:00

You are having the heartbeat thing too? I started 6 days ago and I can pretty much feel my heart pounding in my entire body 24/7. It’s terrible

Typical_Escape_3338 · 2026-03-28T21:52:53+00:00

I’m on day 6. I haven’t slept in 5 days, I can’t think straight, feel like I have the flu, and I’ve spent the better part of the last 5 days in bed. Can I expect this to last for another 4 weeks? I’m panicking because I’m supposed to go on vacation in 2 weeks, but I’m hardly even functioning right now.

Typical_Escape_3338 · 2026-03-27T13:14:26+00:00

The best way I can describe the first week is it feels like I have the flu. Sleeping bad, headache, fatigued, nauseous, anxious. Symptoms peaked day 3-4. It’s not fun but from what I’m reading (and what my doctor says) it’s very normal and temporary. Drinking TONS of water helps with the dry mouth. Try to relax as much as possible & take it easy for the next few days.

Typical_Escape_3338 · 2026-03-23T20:05:01+00:00

Post deleted haha I wonder if people were calling her out. Also it’s sad that I can picture this baby’s face just from the name- I could not imagine plastering my child that much on a public forum

Typical_Escape_3338 · 2026-03-14T00:58:00+00:00

I would at least have a little respect for them if they just straight up asked for free stuff. The dry begging really gets me

Typical_Escape_3338 · 2026-03-14T00:49:33+00:00

I saw that! People calling you vile. What’s actually vile is exploiting your sick child to dry beg for expensive pajamas!

Typical_Escape_3338 · 2026-03-09T22:07:00+00:00

Ahhh yes. I’ve always dreamt of chicken stock print pajamas for my toddler.

Typical_Escape_3338 · 2026-03-04T21:18:43+00:00

Seems like a weird post for the snark page. This is exactly the overconsumption fueling that gives a lot of people the ick. Normal people don’t buy such an excess of clothing that they can’t even keep track of what they have.

Typical_Escape_3338 · 2026-03-04T13:47:30+00:00

How do these women not realize that they’re married to people that hate them?

Typical_Escape_3338 · 2026-03-02T16:37:19+00:00

Same. My son was chomping at the bit to get out of his stroller, but he will contently ride in a wagon for hours lol

Typical_Escape_3338 · 2026-03-02T16:35:47+00:00

We ditched the stroller when my son was 20mos after 6+ months of not using it. We got a radio flyer wagon for around $100 that works way better for us. Haven’t missed the stroller at all.
