My tale of woe, SSRIs and ED
Posted: Mon Dec 13, 2021 3:19 pm
I am a healthy 55yo man, no diabetes, no hypertension, no penile injuries but have had ED most of my adult life. I have also been on antidepressants for most of adult life and although there is no conclusive scientific proof associating ED with antidepressants (especially SSRIs), I know that this is the etiology behind mine. Not only have antidepressants caused or contributed to my ED, but they have also led to a complete loss of libido over the years and unwanted weight gain. However, several months ago, I started on Wellbutrin (a known libido enhancer). I find myself now, for the first time in a very long time, horny almost 24/7. I view porn and mentally undress almost every woman that I see in public. It feels fantastic to feel this way but I have a completely dead dick, even after having tried all the usual treatments. I am extremely sad now at this point of my life and think of the 20 years that I could have have had incredible sex with many women (or a special woman) if I hadn't had this condition. I have an appointment for an implant consultation and can't wait to get a new lease on my sexuality so I can make up for lost time. Can anyone else relate?
