so months ago i went on wellbutrin and after taking it for a bit my clit very suddenly went numb for a few days. i was masturbating manually regularly and it came out of nowhere. it was bizarre. couldn’t find any info about that being a side effect. my psychiatrist said to give it a day or two. in a panic i bought a hitachi bc i couldn’t bear the thought of not masturbating/orgasming and thought i needed a stronger sensation – idk it made sense in my head at the time.
my psychiatrist was right – in a day or two later the sensation in my clit came back. i didn’t really need the hitachi but well, i had it so i tried it anyway but found the orgasms from it pretty unsatisfying tbh. i went back to manual masturbating and found it so much better and my sex drive was also VERY high due to the wellbutrin – actually it started to become distracting for a while. so i was masturbating and orgasming frequently but the medication wasn’t actually helping with depression so i tapered off.
sex drive went back to regular – definitely didn’t lower but wasn’t nearly as high. i found myself using the hitachi more and more out of laziness i guess. again the orgasms from it aren’t particularly satisfying to me but they were quicker. i don’t use it very often, once or twice a day, but now can’t cum unless it’s on its highest setting, and now i can’t masturbate manually. i tried yesterday and i’m not numb, but it was just frustrating and annoying and i could get over the edge. today i tried again manually and couldn’t feel much so i just reached for the hitachi.
i wasn’t using the hitachi that often and am still worried i did potential permanent damage, tho i’ve heard mixed opinions on whether that’s possible.
i miss my more intense, satisfying manual orgasms. should i just lay off all masturbation for a bit to “reset”?
