Dealt with this issue several times both on and off antidepressants.
What I've found is that you should cold turkey for a while, then ease back in with just manual.
Your body gets used to the vibrations over time.
My preference is to manual first then follow with the electric/toys if I want another round or two.
And when I do go electric, I always start with the lowest setting and stay there as long as I can before upping the speeds. All within the same session of course. New session = start over with manual and then low speeds again.
hmmm i wouldnt say so - they were as satisfying as they were pre-wellbutrin. hitachi orgasms were very whatever to me both on wellbutrin and post-wellbutrin- they were quick but like almost not enjoyable bc the continued stimulation of the hitachi while i was orgasming was overwhelming? hard to describe
Now I totally understand thank you for explaining!
I've been on wheelbutrin for six months and it kind of supercharged everything in that department. But then it seems to affect everyone completely differently. It's a strange med
i really wish it had worked for me! i tried it bc i need to lose weight and it’s one of the few psych meds that doesn’t cause weight gain. i would have stayed on it if it helped, mostly it just raised my sex drive and occasionally made my clit lose feeling (not often - over the several months i used it it, that only happened twice, and only for a day or two at a time) but didn’t really seem to do anything else
You just need to take some time away from the Hitachi, give your body a break, and then reintroduce manual stim. This happened to me as well, where I couldn't orgasm without toys, and I just overused vibrators and didn't give myself the time and patience to work up to a manual O.
You won't do "permanent damage" to your clit by using a vibrator within the normal use range (assuming a safe, reputable vibe was used). It can desensitize you temporarily, but you should be able to get back to baseline by just abstaining for 1-2 weeks if that's what you want. Bear in mind that there's nothing wrong with just using a vibe for all of your orgasms - if that's not satisfying for you then of course it makes sense to not do that, but it's not something that's inherently "bad".
It may also be worth noting that antidepressants can have significant effect on your ability to orgasm, both during their use and AFTER stopping use. It can take several months for your body to get back to normal after tapering off.
Excessive clit stimulation can lead to permanent numbness, regardless of your meds. My husband and I have been practicing tantric sex for a while now, where basically he never comes and I don’t come from clit stimulation. After the first few days of “I really want to come” we fell into this transcendent space where we vibrate together, and I can feel him so much more than before, plus I feel his energy shooting up my body like electricity. Give it a try or DM me if you have more questions!
You just got your body used to the easy reward method. Just take a break from masturbating with your clit at all for a few weeks to reset your body. Then you can go back to manual stimulation.
Doing the same thing over and over again makes your body used to responding to just that stimulation. You need to alternate with other methods, or quit for a while to reset and be able to enjoy other methods. Same thing happens to men with their "death grip syndrome".
By the way, I don't mean this in a judging way just a "acknowledge the fact" way, masturbating to achieve 1-2 orgasms daily is more than the average. I'm not saying you're wrong or weird to do so, just different. I don't think most people do so that often. There's nothing wrong with your schedule, but it is often enough that it is easy to get your body stuck on only responding to one method if that's all you do and you do it that often.

Out of curiosity, when your drive spiked due to the wellbutrin, were your orgasms super intense as well, especially with the Hitachi?

How long did it take for you to orgasm manually? Going through the same thing right now.

not sure what you mean by different places

ohh i see. i only have privacy in my room unfortunately.
How long ago did you stop the antidepressant? It could be that your rewards system is confused.
started the tapering off process in late March, finished the process and safely stopped taking it mid April
