Grey, faded, like everything was some distance away.

Totally not for me.

This was my experience, as well. Every experience felt dull or muted. If anyone remembers adjusting the rabbit-ear antenna on an old TV, it felt like you were just an inch away from perfect reception; you can still tell what's going on, but there's a thick haze that just flattens everything out.

Same. Couldn't even enjoy orgasms.

I couldn't even have them. Sex felt kinda good, but nothing that was ever going to arrive anywhere. It felt good like someone rubbing your arm feels good. I couldn't even get myself there and that is seriously messed up for me.

Yeah I'd spend hours trying to cum with a vibrator, and my clit would go numb before I came sometimes. If I did cum, it was the weakest most unsatisfying orgasm

I think Wellbutrin was like that for me.

They recently tried to put me on Duloxetine for migraine prevention. I couldn't cum but I could sure get blue balls. Without getting into details I have an extremely high libido. Like per day, not per week or month.

I couldn't stay on that med long enough to say if it worked. I hate migraines but that was impossible. Fortunately after that, they put me on Ajovy and that fixes the migraines with almost no side effects.

Wow. Ok, I'm glad now my doctor went with such a low dose now.
