Can these be stopped abruptly?

[shadowknight]

Hello Everyone. I am taking the following antidepressants and I'd like to know if I can discontinue these all of a sudden. They are:

Fluoxetine 20 mg
Olanzapine 5 mg
Gabapentin 100 mg

Best Regards,
Me

Ok so can these antideps cause ED even after months of usage? Or does the body / mind get used to it? Because if it doesnt, I'll propably ask my doctor to get me off these meds.

I can't exactly remember when the ED started and ended. It still creeps up on me every once and a while, but most of the time I get the same old, WILL YOU HURRY UP

I do take SSRI

300mg Wellbutrin
10mg of Lexapro

From what I have read you shouldn't take 5HTP either

And yes, I'd like to ask one more thing. I keep reading 5HTP should not be taken with SSRIs. So I was wondering. If I take 5HTP, how many days gap would I need to give?

[shadowknight]

When did you start experiencing this problem? I wouldnt mind lasting longer ;) Isnt that what everyone wants? You were propably on just an SSRI maybe. SSRIs are known to be effective for treating premature ejaculation

I also had the same problem, it passed though now I get complaints it lasts to long.

I am experiencing erectile dysfunction and I feel it could be the antidepressants which are causing this. I started taking these meds one month back and I take one pill every day.

i dont know anything about the last two, but i was on prozac for years and suddenly stopped mine last year (i started getting a bad side effect after all those years on it, still dont know why i did) anyhow at first i didnt notice any problems but then i suddenly CRASHED AND BURNED!!!!! omg the depression came back tenfold!!! it was horrible. Please dont stop your meds without weaning off. How much do you take and for how long? why do you want to stop them?  It took me along time to get back to a "non -severely depressed state" once i started them again and even now, Im still depressed, so i dont think they work as good again once you stop them.
