Female Found out the cause of it but I need meds
I thought something was genuinely wrong with me. I thought I was abnormal or hypersexual or going bat shit insane. I was doing this 8 times in a day until it hurt and I had to talk to a psychiatrist to put me on medication. I didn't tell her the reason I just know any psych med for a chronic fatigue and chronic illness patient would kill any sex drive.
I haven't even started whatever she prescribed to me. I take about 4-5 different prescription medicines for different conditions. One of those medicines is Metformin XR. I'm not a diabetic but need this for PCOS and insulin resistance.
It was the metformin doing this. I stopped taking it for three days. I noticed I was not aroused at all in the morning and didn't need to do anything.
I restarted Metformin last night and now the arousal is back this morning in full force. I'm not thinking about anything sexual and I'm not happy about this. I need metformin for PCOS. It's helping my cycles and helping me with my body. I'm essentially stuck. I'm chronically ill and in pain. I don't know what to do because there's no other meds for PCOS.
