As far as I know, long-term use of Viagra or any of the similar ED meds like Cialis or Levitra shdn’t cause loss of sensation. They sometimes DO lose effectiveness over time, but that may be that as a guy ages, his ED becomes worse. Might be best to see a Urologist - you said a Dr. did not prescribe this med for you & it’s generally not a good idea to self-medicate.
Depression itself is an important cause of sexual dysfunction but more important is the prolonged use of sertraline which has known side effects of ejaculation failure and paresthesia. Paresthesia is a sensation of tingling, tickling, prickling, pricking, or burning of a person's skin with no apparent long-term physical effect.
They certainly hear all the negative media coverage damning the prescription and use of long term opiates. If we influence or change one person's negative attitude towards chronic pain and its management than we are fighting the war against us! Yes the War against Us, Against Chronic Pain Patients.
You should not be shamed or harassed into this position, "stop the mess and live in constant pain." Taking your husband to your next appt along with educating him may be beneficial.
The only reason that I ask is that I've heard on of the long-term side effects on dxm use is being a bit lathargic. I'm that way now and the VA did an MRI of my brain and found that my adrenal glad had begun to shrink so, it wasn't producing enough of the thyroid hormone.....I can already tell I'm got some defects from the long term use in my cognitive abilities. I'm down to 18 pills day. 1 pill every two days. The morning w/draws have pretty much stopped.
I have recently been feeling full of regret, very emotional and tearful, I have been informed this amy be due to the long term use of Naltrexone, and lack of natural endorphins , so i have been advised by my CDT Nurse to start thinking about coming off of them, is this right? Other wise, my life is so good compared to what it was, I am happy, but just feel like the past keeps wanting me to remember how bad things were... could my 'miracle' now be becoming my tormenter?
Dear whoever may know,
I was diagnosed with anxiety and panic disorder 2 1/2 years ago, and I have been taking Lexapro at 10 mg per day ever since. The medicine has really seemed to have helped my life in all aspects. Whether it has really helped or if this is some kind of placebo effect, I am unsure. I still have moments of reasonable stress at work, but who doesn't...most importantly, I don't have panic attacks anymore.
I have been on 200mg of sertraline for a long time and after trying other drugs I know this is the best for me. I have recently founf out im pregnant so asked my doctor for advice. I was told the risks are minimal and recommended I stay on it. Is it true the only risk is the baby might be born with a sertraline addiction?
ve been on the Zoloft only a few months, it should theoretically be easier if you were on the valium a long time, but not necessarily. This is a very individual thing, as both can have long-term or permanent effects on the brain or no effects at all -- it runs the gamut. But doing two at once would seem to just be asking for trouble.
And, I know that my psychiatrist can answer my questions, but I need to go in with concise questions since our sessions are so short. So, I need to know what I'm talking about and specific advice or insight would be very, very helpful. For point (2), is there a specific anti-depressant that works best (like a gold standard) if upping the dose of Zoloft doesn't work?
Thanks again.
