Almost certainly a result of Depression

Almost certainly a result of Depression

I am not sure if this belongs here in this forum or not, so here goes anyway. I am a 24 year old mother of 3 children. I have severe depression. I have high stress and anxiety. Not from my children, actually, but everything else I don't have time to go in to. I am taking neurontin 1200mg daily, klonopin 4 mg daily, wellbutrin sr 300 mg daily. I must take the nuerontin and klonopin to control head and eye tremors resulting from an angioma in my brain. I take the wellbutrin obviously for the depression.

I don't know how else to phrase this, and it's not something i'd just throw out there, but it's gotten to a point where it's another fixation for me, another problem, another thing that's "wrong" with me.
I can't, under any circumstance, have an orgasm. I don't even feel like a woman anymore.I just feel like some sexless "thing" that putts around frightened and crying over any and everything.
I haven't always been this way, actually, my husband and I have always had a great sex life. But when I started taking the klonipin (klonopin) (it was ativan before that, and xanax before that) and nuerontin ... it just ... disapeared.
I'm so scared I would NEVER tell a doctor, or another human face to face or even on the phone ...
I try to hide it from my husband ( I can't even tell him) but he knows me in and out and I think he knows something is wrong. I was one who orgasmed every time (My husband litterally knows EVERYthing about me).
I just quit saying yes to him when he'd ask. It's gotten harder and harder to hide the fact that I don't even feel like having sex anymore I go out of my way to wait for him to go to bed or to fall asleep before I settle down.
The last time I gave it a try, it hurt me so bad I though I was on fire. lube or no lube it doesn't matter, I get to damned uptight and frustrated I end up crying anyway so there's no point. I even tried to masturbate once to no avail. I just give up in the end. Has anyone ever had any experience with anorgasmia from a result from either the meds i listed or depression? If it's not either, I don't know what to with myself, but it's not a good thought.

Everyone alive has problems and issues. Some can seem more embarrassing than others. Here is the thing, doctors get paid to be professional. You should really see one about this. If the medications are ruining your life, then they are not worth taking. I AM NOT SAYING TO STOP TAKING THEM. Sorry for the caps, just didn't want you or anyone else thinking that's what I meant.

You need to go to the doctor. Think of it like this, what would you do for your husband? If the answer is anything, then go to the doctor. What would you do for yourself? If the answer is anything, then go to the doctor. If the doctor even smiles the wrong way, let a higher up know, but guess what, the doctor won't. There are people going through WAY worse sexual problems than you are, and this does not mean I am saying yours is not important. I just mean that there are for sure more embarrassing sexual issues than not being able to get off. It is serious to you, it is extremely important to you, and I can completely understand why, and I empathize. I just am trying to stress that it's better to go ahead and get help, than suffer for no reason.
