This is my first post on any forum so please bear with me.

My boyfriend has been on fluoxetine for 3 months now and the major side effects that are getting him down are waking up every couple of hours in the night therefore waking up shattered all the time, and the inability to orgasm. He is talking about coming off it as he is struggling with the inability to orgasm. He hasn't lost his sex drive at all he is still as horny as ever and he has no problem getting aroused :-) he is just frustrated as no matter what we have tried he can not orgasm with me. We are very open and we can talk about everything and he has told me that he has managed to come by himself but it takes him forever and a day. The fluoxetine seems to be helping him with the depression but I am worried that if this problem doesn't fade or go away he is going to come off them. Has anyone got any advice regarding this or any similar experiences. He is hoping it subsides after a while and I am too. He is worried I am going to leave him if we can't have the good sex life we used to have, he already wonders how I put up with him as he can be really hard to be with at times because of his mood swings. I have assured him I am going nowhere but when you are depressed I don't think you see things like that.
