Anti-Depressants And Sex
Ok, so Ive been on on anti-depresants for some time.
A few months ago I left them off because I no longer cosiderred that I needed them plus I was getting quite close to someomeone after getting sober from alcohol. (it was heading towards the bedroom,...and they rendererrd me impotent)
After a few weeks I hit the bottle again.
Is this the rest of my flaming life?
Anti-depressents but I can never have sex again or
stay a drunk but basically...never have sex again....?

Maybe a combination of a different anti depressant and ED meds but perhaps a new relationship was too much to handle while getting and trying to stay sober. You have talked about stuff that happened when you were younger, that is obviously still unresolved. Maybe get your head straight and your unmentionable will follow. Trying to be kind here but dealing with that amount of baggage before trying to build a connection with someone is really hard, why not give yourself a bit of space, and try again, (get to say 12 months so the positive changes have a chance to embed )
So, me and my GP have agreed to review meds once I get sober again (which I will,,,)
But if I want a love life, I cannot continue on these things...
They are awful. Like trying to play snooker with a piece of rope!!
Been on several different anti depressants. ALL had the same effect.
Cure one problem and cause another.
