You are loosing your erection because you are watching yourself -- performance anxiety. The way to overcome this is to take intercourse off the menu for a while. But to do this your will need to have a regular partner.
I'm a 33yo guy, in overall good health, I've been on a low dose of Metoprolol for about a year for benign tachycardia. I've cut my dose down to 25 mg a day since I noticed I began having trouble maintaining erections more than I'd like. Used to never have that issue. I've gotten prescribed Cialis 5mg, haven't taken it yet, is it safe for the heart to take? Like it won't trigger any dangerous rhythms or anything? Really wanting to get my sex life back.
I am 18 and suffer from performance anxiety, i cant maintain an erection when im with my girlfriend. We've tried many times it just doesnt work cause im nervious. is there any cure or way to maintain an erection for sure? would a penile pump work?
I can relate to your performance anxiety myself. I think it is more about the feeling of being judged and the thoughts of those in the audience then it is about your capability.
I would not try anyones medicine with or without a performance. Performance is more about your self esteem and belief in your talents then any medicine you can put in your body.
Capability and Self Esteem are also 2 different animals when dealing with anxiety.
I have been suffering from some pretty bad performance anxiety. I am dating a girl that I really love and when we first attempted sex, I had a problem getting it up. Ever since then, I have been caught in the terrible cycle where I only think about getting an erection, thus causing me to lose my erection. Medically I am fine. Always erect on my own, as well as with her for foreplay or oral. The only problem is with intercourse - right before condom goes on or insertion I panic and lose it.
So I'm starting Cialis 5mg a day as needed for erectile dysfunction due to side effects from Metoprolol. I've cut down my dose of Metoprolol to about 37.5mg a day. I have no lack of interest, just my penis goes soft without manual stimulation. If I stroke it, fine, but if I'm having sex, for the last year or so, since I started the meds, it will periodically go soft without constant stroking which is highly annoying.
I'm only 33 too.
Ok so I've been on Metoprolol 50-100mg a day for about a year for benign tachycardia. It's overall worked good for me. But I've noticed a decline in sexual function, specifically, more difficulty keeping an erection during sex. I'm about to start Cialis, so hopefully that will help regardless, but my cardiologist mentioned that I might try Cardizem. He was suggesting it had fewer sexual side effects.
I take this medication as well and have been on it for 3 years. I have never experienced depression while on this medication. I believe your doctor is correct in that this is not a side effect of the medication. I have not heard of weight gain from this medication as well. Maybe this is a side effect of your depression? In other words, you are eating more because you are depressed.
t like to take pills at all but I am at the point I have to take something for this anxiety because I am barely functioning! I have health anxiety and the PVC's don't help. When I take the Metoprolol it does slow my heart rate so I am afraid if I take the Xanax it's going to slow it even more (heart rate is between 63-75 with med). Please answer as soon as you are able-THANKS.
I am in search of long-term self-help for the following issue:
I am prone to occasional bouts of sexual performance anxiety. Usually, it occurs when I'm with someone I really care about for the first time. My mind gets pre-occupied with wanting to be good for her and to give her total satisfaction. Of course, these thoughts start to weigh heavily, and it affects my ability to get an erection.
t have any effect. I have been told that as long as I have performance anxiety, all the viagra in the world will not help.
To over come the problem, my doctor prescribed me Trazodone Hydrochloride 100mg every night. I have to say that after taking Trazodone for a couple of weeks I could have healthy sex with or without viagra. I took Trazodone for a bit more than 3 months and then gradually stopped. for the following 4 months I could also have good sex ONLY when taking viagra.
I'm a 20 year old male and I've been suffering with performance anxiety for as long as I can remember.Last year I saw a doctor about this and she examined and took blood for me and told me I was healthy and doesn't see anything wrong with me.I'm in a really good relationship right now and we attempted sex quite a few times and it just ends bad.I'm hard when my clothes are on but when I take them off I lose it right before I penetrate.
Good advice from GR. Also, since you have spontaneous morning elections & no prblm getting hard otherwise, you can be assured you do not have a physical prblm. This sounds like ‘performance anxiety’ which is pretty common & has happened to a lot of us. The wurst thing we can do when this happens is to obsess about it - then, the more we think about it & worry that it’s gonna happen again, the more likely it will!
There is clear evidence from many controlled trials in the past 25 years that beta blockers are effective in anxiety disorders, though the mechanism of action is not known. Some people have used beta blockers for performance enhancement, and especially to combat 'performance anxiety'.
s a beta-blocker mostly used to lower blood pressure but sometimes used for performance anxiety situations like stage fright, exam taking, job interviews etc. He's used it with other patients experiencing ED.
I also do take the beta-blocker pindolol which has kept my BP at 125/70 for years. Shrink says very occasional and use of propranolol on top of pindolol should not be a problem but I still have concerns which I will run by my GP.
Thanks for your prompt answer, I'm having anxiety right now because I'm afraid I'm going to have a heart attack in the movie theater hahah.
You are supposed to swab the gums and cheeks as the test is for use with oral fluid- NOT saliva (which is on the tongue.) My results were negative but I am fearful they are not accurate as the test wasn't performed the way it was supposed to be (swab once around upper gums and once around lower gums.) The saliva from my tongue could have messed up the results easily as there aren't nearly as much antibodies found in saliva as there are in oral fluid found on the gums and cheeks.
If you are already taking 100mg metoprolol and you are still having spells of tachycardia, then yes, do continue to seek help. One would hope that the metoprolol would control your symptoms, and if not, then further consultation is appropriate.
Hi, I'm dealing with tachycardia arrhytmia since more than 2 years now. My Cardilogist at first said it was dysautonomia and POTS and blame also my severe anxiety and was put on a beta blocker, propranolol 20 mg day. At first it was working on to stop the tachycardia but with time the effect wear off and had to increase my dose and then it was lowering too much my blood pressure so my Cardiologist switch me on another beta blocker...
