Antidepressants and erectile dysfunction?
It's just a tiresome topic. I've been taking medication for six months now and have changed it several times (duloxetine, sertraline). I'm currently taking bupropion, lithium and trazodone to help me sleep. Of course I know that there are other factors, that it could be due to the severe depression or interactions or traumas that point in that direction and of course I want to feel better first and foremost and it seems so unimportant but it's really unpleasant at 24 years old… because nothing is working and interest is waning. It's a strain on relationships, just like this whole illness, I've unfortunately had to experience that myself. I spoke to the doctors in the clinic and in the day clinic but they didn't take it seriously at all, how overwhelming it can be, maybe they just didn't understand how important it can be for men. I'm already busy enough with depression and don't need any more problems. Maybe there are women/men here who have experienced similar things with doctors and have found their own solution. Thank you in advance for helpful answers.

I have no experience with impotence, but experience with psychopharmacology. I’m not taking any more. If you really have severe depression, maybe those are necessary, but not so many! The fact that the doctors do not take mentally ill seriously is often so! Psychiatrics operate systematic abuse in patients. Excess self-responsibility and only take an antidepressant that helps your serotonin level. Don’t take anything to sleep, at most something herbal, sleep-promoting. You can’t handle depression purely medicamentally, and your own will is also in demand! You see where that was going! Now you’re bad about the impotence that was certainly caused by the drugs. Read the package leaflets, I’m sure it’s where. Next is your liver when you take so many medis.
Yes, this is absolutely normal that we even listed in the side effects relatively above that it often, or very often, comes to severe erection disorders.
Unfortunately, this is typical of these drugs. There is usually an alternative drug where there are fewer problems. You should discuss this with the doctor
No antidepressants lead to no complete impotence, you remain incapable of procreation. But all lead to (permanent) erection disorders.
yes was wrongly expressed it has corrected because it is of course different
