strongvoice1 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 First, the easy one: metallic taste in my mouth. Common side effect? Second: my sex drive has returned with a vengeance. I probably sublimated it into my 15-hour work days with grad school and my jobs. Now, I look like I'm gonna ... pitch a tent. Soooo...is that a common thing? (You may crack jokes. Please do. They help me a lot.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larkspur Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 It would help to know what medications you're taking. Hard to say if it's a common side effect if we don't know the drug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strongvoice1 Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 1000 mg Depakote is the new one (three weeks). I've been on Effexor and Trazodone for years, so I'd have to point to the Depakote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dianthus Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Trazodone is more known for causing priapism which is a medical emergency. If you're getting erections lasting more than I think it's 4 hours, you have to go to an ER. The metallic taste could be Depakote-- ACs do a lot of weird things with taste. Depakote is know to blunt sex drive more than anything, but side effects are so personal it's hard to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiaB Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I'm moving this to the Side Effects forum, where you should get a wider audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strongvoice1 Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 Ok. Thanks. No priapism to report, but even being a "sixty minute man" is a little weird for me. And that had happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
