8. Drug-Induced Anorgasmia

Some medications cause anorgasmia. Prescription medicines that treat depression and anxiety, in particular, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), can have this effect. Other prescription and over-the-counter medicines that can cause a lack of orgasm include antihistamines, antipsychotics, and blood pressure medications. Recreational drugs can also lead to anorgasmia. Both alcohol and opioids like heroin can hamper a person's ability to reach orgasm. Smoking can inhibit blood flow to the sexual organs and cause the condition, as well.
