Anti-depessants

[Bjones]

my thoughts would be no. most of what i read is that they can enhance erections.

I'm a week off of Wellbutrin. Still no libido. But I am feeling more clear headed. No withdrawal symptom at all. I went to half a dose for 2 week, I think this helped out immensely.

Did we
Butrin help your sex drive? Im taking it right now but it does nothing for sex drive ..in fact it worsens my ED so I'll have to get off. I think..

I have heard Wellbutrin helps your sex drive but it doesn't do that for me. Neither does it hurt it. I am very sensitive to the sexual side effects of antidepressants and Wellbutrin and Abilify are the only two that do not impact me negatively.

Im very sensitive to ED effects from these medications as well..like I said welbutrin actually hurt my ED..the only AD I've taken that had a positive effect on my sex life was Selegeline..

To respond to the poster's question about anti-depressant's effect on the effectiveness of Trimix, from what I read on this forum several times is that Trimix is a very localized med that only affects your penis, so its effectiveness would not be diminished by anti-depressants, nor possibly other oral meds as well.
But brothers, feel free to check me if I'm wrong.

Antidepressants have the side effect of erectile dysfunction, you'll see it written in the label, so yes it can reduce trimix potency.

I had used Viagra for 10 years. Which I havent used since using Trimix.

About 3-4 years ago PE (Premature Ejaculation) became a big problem. I couldnt last more than a couple minutes.
My family doctor prescribed SSRI Paroxetine (Paxel) which helped with PE, But I also noticed that I seemed to have weaker erections. So much so that I could only do one position. My wife hated it so much she lost interest in sex.

Three months ago I started using Trimix. Strongest erections I've ever had. My wife has said my erections (now) are normal. What do I know I've never been with another guy!
I also cut back on Paroxetine. And since I cut back on the Paroxetine I've notice three things.
Slight weight loss which I gained since starting Paroxetine.
Stronger erections and have needed to cut back on trimix.
Also I noticed a change in my anxiety/depression.

In short for my well being. Paroxetine helped with PE, but caused weight gain, and weaker erections.

Paroxetine was a libido/erection killer for me as well. I did not realize this for many years, until my pdoc weaned me off of Paroxetine in 2016 (for reasons other than libido). I then experienced a very strong return of libido and erections as a result. Interestingly (as with your post above), I also lost about 20 pounds of weight over the next few months. I did some research at the time and read that discontinuing Paroxetine can cause a loss of food appetite, which was actually good for me as well.

I dont think that's the case, otherwise sudafed wouldnt help to bring down trimix erections. Oral meds can definitely counteract trimix. Trimix's effect is local, but oral meds affect everywhere.

Good point. Well I will just say I was on a host of oral meds including an SSRI and I had tremendous success with Trimix until it faded out like it does with so many others. So I consider my experience ,even with all the meds ,to have been "normal". Just my personal experience fwiw.
