I'm actually pre-med and planning on becoming a psychiatrist, so I know a fair amount about meds (from research as well as personal experience!) but this is a side effect that has utterly baffled me.
I have noticed that when I'm on Trileptal and nortriptyline I have MUCH better orgasms (and an increased sex drive as well) than when I'm on any other meds or even off meds completely! I'm not sure which med this is due to, since I've never been on one without the other, but has anyone else noticed this on either med? It is DEFINITELY a welcomed side effect but I have no idea WHY it happens, when so many other similar meds either have no effect on the sex drive, or completely destroy it. Any ideas?
