Sorry, Cam, I just couldn't resist. ;o)
This thread is somewhat paralleling what we were talking about in "xanax vs. klonopin" whereby I just posted more than I thought I ever would about my personal life, but you see, I was already working up to this question and didn't know where on the internet to ask it (too embarrassing to ask ANY doctor face to face)- I never thought I would ask it on this board but I have no idea where I could ask without being laughed off.
As I said, if you read my 6/11 (today) post in that thread, my um... function has been well restored and I'm glad of it. The only meds I am taking at all now are the micro-dose of klonopin, .125 mg 3 x per day and my panic attacks are well-controlled.
I'm not being flippant here so please don't laugh: is it possible to have permanant damage or die due to orgasmic activity? Other than say, having a heart attack or something, which is not a concern for me since I think I am in fine cardiac health? This is so embarrassing, but I was trying to hide my face behind fiance's shoulder because I didn't want him to notice what I found disconcerting: a kind of muscle spasm or lack of muscle control most notable in my jaw. Yes, this is highly embarrassing but I'm hoping someone can at least tell me this is not "abnormal" or dangerous or that I am not the only one. I seriously could not control my muscles at that um.. moment in time, the "petit mort" and I was a little concerned about the involuntary facial muscle movements that seemed uncoordinated and purposeless... more like a lack of being able to keep my jaw where I wanted it like most of us do all day long without thinking about it. Gawsh, does anyone know what I mean? Please don't leave me looking like a freak here. The muscle spasm-type thing (for lack of a better description) passed after several long seconds but I was a little worried: is it possible to have a seizure or something and never recover? It would be embarrassing to be hauled to the hospital by paramedics in that state of undress, etc. Ok, I am trying to lighten it up with a little humor there in the last sentence but I was a little taken aback and I guess if I knew it was a totally harmless phenomenon I would just get used to it and not worry.
Cam? Anyone?
