Viagra did little for me, but Cialis gives very good erections. However, neither of them did anything to my lidido, which was not much of a surprise as these drugs are not supposed to affect libido either way. They are designed to treat erectile dysfunction, not insufficient libido. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 So cialis gave you an erection despite having no libido?

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 I haven't tried Viagra or any of those type of drugs yet but from what I understand they only work on the "plumbing". That is, they only physically cause an erection and have no psychoactive effects. A type of drug that preliminary studies show does cause an increase in libido is still being tested and may take a few years for FDA approval.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Well, I had some libido. Not very high, lower than before starting SSRIs, but not zero. But you don't need libido to get erections with Cialis. > > > > > > Has anyone decided to try another drug like Viagra for these > effects? > > > Does it work for libido too? > > > > > I've tried both Viagra and Cialis.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 A urologist told me he sometimes prescribes viagra for a short 3 month period to young adults with symptons similiar to post ssri. The premise behind this prescription is it usually builds sexual confindence and after 3 months you find your confidence has added libido and sex drive. The urologist also stated that there is no medical proof that ssri's affect your sexual function after taking the medication and thought the cause of the dysfunction was based on performance anxiety.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 I think viagra is good if the sexual dysfunction is psychological. PSSD might be psychological for some people so it's probably worth trying. However, I beleive that in the majority of cases, PSSD is not psychological but neurological. It's well established that SSRIs cause sexual dysfunction in most people who take them and there is no reason to assume that the dysfunction would reverse unless we know eactly how it's being caused (which we don't). Also, the types of sexual dysfunction like gentital anesthesia and ejaculatory anhedonia are highly unlikely to be psychological. I'm not sure what your urologist means when he says that " there is no medical proof " . That's a completely idiotic thing to say. There was " no proof " that the earth revolves around the sun, and the majority of people resisted that idea. It took people like Galileo and Copernicus to prove that it did, but now we think it's abvious and take it for granted.
