Vyvanse does cause sexual dysfunction with me, but only during the day when I likely won't be having sex anyways. In my experience, and from what I've heard from others is that once you're able to get hard, things go smoothly from there.
One trick I've found to counteract medication induced ED is Trazodone. I take it for insomnia, but it also makes me pretty much stay at half mast and get rock hard erections very easily no matter what medication I'm taking (besides Strattera, fuck Strattera) . When I know my wife is likely in the mood I'll take it a bit earlier to make sure I don't have any issues.
Also, kegels aren't just for women. They help improve blood flow that can help treat ED, help reduce your risk of prostate cancer, and potentially even make your dick bigger.
Yeah. Kegels are fun. I just keep forgetting to do them. Thanks for the pointers ๐
Well I just googled that med and it's an antidepressant. Thanks for your help, but I'm already taking wellbutrin and I'm never going back to SRI meds
Trazodone isn't an ssri, and the doses that are used for off label are way lower than what is prescribed for depression, and medication induced ED is one of those off label uses.
I'm taking vyvanse and wellbutrin as well with no issues from the trazodone.
Thanks. I googled it and it said it was an SRI. Hm. I have a bad history with Venlafaxin/efexor/pristiq addiction:/
