Ambien and sexual dysfunction
Common Questions and Answers about Ambien and sexual dysfunction
ambien
has been taking Ambien for several years, and this is a comparatively recent complaint. Although not a depressant, but a hypnotic, Ambien can contribute to sexual dysfunction...though it's transient, and decreases over time.
Yes, I've ruled out circulatory issues. The pt. is on a mild vasodialator, which caused some concern with the addition of the Cialis...though he's tolerated it well, and has had no complaints of hypotensive related sequelae.

i have forgotten the name...
at certain times some things seem SO important My liver doc says occasional use is fine, but to use the lowest effective dose. Of the 3 drugs for male sexual dysfunction, Viagra, Levitra and Cialis, Cialis is the most toxic to the liver, and carries the strongest warning.
Hope the info helps, and the Viagra too!
Other issues which turned out to be symptoms of low testosterone included extreme fatigue, lack of motivation, low self-esteem, irritability, difficulty retaining information, loads of fat around the belly despite eating very healthily and actually being well underweight, erectile dysfunction, insomnia etc.
2 years I have had male sexual dysfunction with loss of propulsion phase. 3 weeks ago I started having severe headaches upon standing with (more than usual) severe low back pain and colder feet. The ER did a lumbar MRI and saw no cauda equina syndrome and released me. A spine surgeon thinks I may have epidural compression syndrome but none of my scans show him the cause. Work Comp. won't allow more scans so I lay down to prevent pain and headache-waiting.
symptoms, fasciculations (muscle twitching), metallic taste in mouth, nausea, extreme thirst (including dry mouth and increased frequency of urination), sexual dysfunction (or occasional increase in libido), heart palpitations, dizziness, vertigo, breathlessness.
Also sexual dysfunction-desire fine but erectile dysfunction. Correctable with drugs(cialis).I would like to talk more but I have an idiot here at work who reads over my shoulder and I must stop so I can DESTROY him. Oh yeah, and my temper is kinda frikken short!
The insomnia of withdrawal made going to work hard so he gave me Ambien IR or Ambien CR whichever I wanted. I have reduced this over the last couple of weeks. Actually, I have not taken it more than 3 times a week over the last two weeks with some of the rebound insomnia beginning to wane.
4. Blocadren came in the last 6-8 months to reduce periodic bouts of shakiness that I have had during withdrawal and for heart palpitations. It has also given me normal blood pressure.
I'd like , and think need, an unfettered 8 but get 6 or 7. Haven't used Ambien for months and I figured that an unmedicated body seeks equilibrium. Right now yours needs 10. Or maybe it's all that booze.
Ibi, i have it in my brain i can't sleep with out a zolpidem (ambien, not cr). I read and read and get so sleepy, turn off the light and wham, wide awake. Weird. Hopefully longer in my sobriety this will all get better. I am asking my sponsor today and therapist tomorrow. Y'all have a great day. Check in later. got to get to hit the shower and the road. ps>if they aren't losing evidence, they are contaminating it!
Symptoms included hot flashes,severe anxiety attacks, sleep problems, sexual dysfunction and disabling fatigue among other symptoms. I went to a urologist who determined that I was suffering from hypogonadism of pituitary etiology. He put me on testosterone gel. This helped with some of the symptoms but my severe fatigue persisted. I had all of the easily done pituitary lab tests done and aside from my LH and testosterone they all came back normal.
Secondary to this --- I believe that some people have organic illnesses and suffer from depression for no reason at all (other than a dysfunction within the body) - while most have some underlying reason to their depression, anxiety, etc. I believe that some are able to overcome some of the obstacles that life sets forth for them without any help from others. However, these people are very rare and are often troubled far longer than they need to be.
I'm getting my metaphors mixed up from your description I don't know if you are talking about solo sex or sexual disfunction "dooining" or a stump - maybe it has never been about a real stump but getting a replacement tree - Is that one of those pump up things I've heard about. Now your starting to worry me thinking back to where you said you ripped the roots out - Oooch! That's way to rough. Ha!
Mouth sores that are chronic and often severe
Memory dysfunction
Balance issues and gait disturbances

But I felt trapped in the role of breadwinner, and I hated her naivete. At times I wanted to get drunk and sexually wild, and she could never give this to me, because she was always worried about the children, the neighbors, our families, etc. I would want to explode, especially at the slightest hint that she was going to start nagging me.
So I would escape -- much like your hubby -- on Fridays or Sundays.
I know what it feels like to pray and pray to the God of my understanding That I know loves me only to feel like it fell on deaf ears I know night terrors from childhood memories of sexual abuse.I. too know the longing for what I percieved others had that I would never have. I hope I have conveyed this things in past tense....
14 months post tx.
