Does Prozac Cause Reduction In Libido And Difficulty In Maintaining Erection?

I m a man 59 yrs old. I have been on Prozac for 9 mos. It has killed my libido. However, it really works for my depression. I no longer absece/focus on all that is wrong with my life. It s like I m back to being myself. However, I have little interest in sex and my penis feels like it is not as sensitive as it use to be. It takes all my concentration not to lose my erection and orgasam. I get erections often at night so I don t think viagra is the trick. I want my desire and sensitivity back. Any advise?
