   In March 2005 I was on Risperdal briefly and while I was on   
   it my orgasm virtually disappeared but returned when I came   
   off Risperdal.   
      
   Not long after that I went back on olanzapine on top of my   
   main drug lithium (I am bipolar).   For years I didn't have   
   any orgasm problems but then about a year ago my orgasm   
   disappeared, but buildup and ejaculation remained OK.   
      
   Remembering the Risperdal incident, in July I came off   
   olanzapine but the orgasm did not return except for one   
   isolated incident.   Thus I have assumed that the problem   
   is not the olanzapine and I went back on the olanzapine.   
   Then two nights ago I had a factor 1 orgasm (minimum   
   acceptable orgasm) so perhaps it is returning.   
      
   All of these orgasms have been by masturbation so I   
   also speculate that maybe there is some mystical   
   thing such that I now have no orgasm while   
   masturbating but might with a woman.   
      
   Any advice would be appreciated.   
      
   (But earlier today I had a nipple orgasm just as   
   good as a factor 5 orgasm, but the problem is   
   with the orgasm that should accompany ejaculation.)
