When being stimulated vaginaly or my clitoris I feel nothing. Its as if you were to stroke the back of your hand. Sometimes even just kind of tickles. I take prozac, lamictal and lyrica. What is wrong with me?
There are no serious interactions between the three medications, however the prozac does cause decreased libido as well as sexual dysfunction. I would say, as an educated guess, that the prozac is the root of your problem.

Would you happen to know if there are any other anti depression medications that do not do this. I have never felt anything and I keep being told its so sad that I don't and its starting to bother me.
Have you tried any others? Many may carry that side effect, but not always experienced by the user. Finding an anti-depressant that works for you can be like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.
With other anti-depressants you may get back sexual function, but experience other side-effects that are just as disheartening. Celexa is one that carries few sexual side effects.
In the end, you have to be upfront and honest with your prescriber. Let him/her know the symptoms you are experiencing so that they can try another med that may not give you these unwanted effects.

Since I do have depression but also would like to know what everyone is so needing me to feel could I go off for just a little? Is the prozac really the reason for little/no feeling?
would like to know what everyone is so needing me to feel
Could you explain this, I'm not sure I quite understand what you are trying to say. Bear with me, I just got off a 12 hour shift at work so I'm functioning at half speed... :p
could I go off for just a little? It's not advised to go off your meds for "just a little" as it takes time for the medication to build up in your bloodstream to reach a therapeutic effect. If you "go off for just a little" you will be starting at square one and have to take yet another 2-6 weeks to gain the proper effect yet again causing a you-you effect that could actually do more harm than good.

Haha wow you 12hrs totally understandable no problem. I mean ill tell a friend that I don't feel anything or a guy and they all look at me as if my dog just died. Am I really missing out on something haha
Problem also is because I don't know the feeling it hinders the guy to feel the amount he should be feeling because I don't know what I'm doing...
The best thing you can do is to talk to your provider and let him/her know of these side effects you are experiencing. Then, together, you can experiment with other medications that will have fewer side effects so that you can live a more normal sexual life.
