Suggest Remedies For Side Effects Of Antidepressants
Question: I have having erectile dysfunstion problems at 25 due to my antidepressants. Which ones are to avoid and which ones do not have this side effect?
Brief Answer:
SSRI to be avoided
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks again for using Healthcaremagic.
In regard to sexual dysfunction wellbutrin is much better choice. The other option is mirtazapine which is less likely to cause ED.
Having said this SSRI group of medication should be avoided such as lexapro, prozac, paxil, zoloft as they have more propensity to cause this side effect.
I hope this helps you.
Thanks and regards.
