I Have OCD And On The SSRI Trintellix. I Discussed

default
Posted on Tue, 16 Oct 2018
Question: I have OCD and on the SSRI Trintellix. I discussed my libido and climaxing problem with "Ask a Doctor" urologist Dr, P.T. XXXXXXX He suggested switch from Viagra to Cialis. My internist agreed and wrote me an RX for 5mg daily and 20 mg before sexual intercourse. I am aware that Viagra and Cialis does not really help Libido or Climaxing but since Cialis gives you a longer lasting erection it may help the climaxing problem. Do you agree?
My internist checked my Testosterone and I have the level of a 20 year old however, the SSRI blocks libido. Is there anything else that I can also take for libido and climaxing with Cialis?
Final question - I read on the drug interactions from the pharmacist that fungicides may affect the full benefit of Cialis?. I am on the fungicide Fluconazole 150 mg every 3 days to prevent jock itch because I seem to have it frequently.

Brief Answer:
Cialis will help to climax late

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

Yes, Cialis will help in solving the climaxing problem. The reason for same being as you think, better erections compared to any drug of its class.

I am sorry to say that there are no proved medications which can improve the libido.

Yes, interaction can be expected on the day you take Fluconazole. Fluconazole will increase the action of Cialis and may result in long lasting erections and may be a few aggravated side effects like dizziness or headache.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
