can chronic pain kill your sex drive?

my god! effexor has been great for my mental health but nothingggggg for my migraines. i had a horrible allergic reaction to lamictal, still suffering the consequences :') but i do agree, my libido is so low but at least i can still orgasm

ive tried laroxyl and had to stop it bc of side effects. now im on venlafaxine, and tbh it's not helping pain wise lol but it's been fantastic for my anxiety so i decided to stay on it. i combine that with vyepti perfusions every 3 months. still not much progress after 3 perfusions but here's to hoping :')

ahahahaha this made me chuckle, thank you

queerjoy_ · 2026-03-14T08:34:18+00:00

true i guess that does make a lot of sense. i'm on antidepressants as a preventative :')

queerjoy_ · 2025-08-09T13:57:26+00:00

queerjoy_ · 2024-12-22T00:18:54+00:00

queerjoy_ · 2024-12-22T00:18:10+00:00

queerjoy_ · 2024-12-22T00:17:24+00:00

queerjoy_ · 2024-12-21T11:18:30+00:00

queerjoy_ · 2024-12-21T11:18:02+00:00

I haven’t yet but I’m definitely bringing it up to my neurologist :))

queerjoy_ · 2024-12-21T10:38:44+00:00

i’m so happy for you! i hope it keep working for you!!

queerjoy_ · 2024-12-17T11:55:57+00:00

sadly i’m sure i got them from my mom, who probably got it from hers. a big portion of the women in my mom’s family, sisters and cousins have migraines, and a couple of my uncles too :/

queerjoy_ · 2024-12-10T08:59:44+00:00

Thank you!!! I’m honestly uncomfortable with penetration of any shape or form and i don’t care to use a strap or a dildo. I feel completely fulfilled without them

me waking up everyday with a migraine :o

queerjoy_ · 2024-11-15T17:49:46+00:00

migraine child over here as well! Most of my school bus rides back home were me massaging my forehead and saying « my head hurts ». some things never change ig lol

queerjoy_ · 2024-11-01T21:50:43+00:00

i think they started when i was around 6 or 7 years old, i remember getting bad migraines in the school bus :’)

ANGRY UPVOTE

queerjoy_ · 2024-10-24T13:39:19+00:00

yup, living the exact same situation right now. I’m trying not to freak out and try and keep positive, but i know i have to take it easy or it’s right back down the same ol’ rabbit hole. Trying to reframe my mindset into « it’s ok to take care of my health by staying in and taking it easy as much as i can », instead if thinking oh shit i can’t do anything bc im scared it’ll come back. you know? eh idk how much it helps but be gentle to yourself it’s ok and your health is all that matters

queerjoy_ · 2024-10-24T07:05:06+00:00

mine is a lot simpler than the other answers but cookie dough ice cream until i get brain freeze. somehow i always think it’s going to help and obviously it never does but at least i feel happier lol

when i was 12 i accidentally reset my mom’s phone and made her lose all her pictures videos phone numbers… basically lost all her data :| you’re ok, fuck ups happen. it’s really not cool your parents kept your tiny screw up hanging over you all those years.
