zyban side effects

rameses

Is zyban known to cause temporary impotence or erectile dysfunction? I've been on zyban for 4 weeks now and in the last 3 or 4 days i've had trouble with my sex life. Can you help?

I understand that patients who have sexual trouble with SSRI's are oftten switched to Wellbutrin because it has a low occurrence of those effects. Serzone is also supposed to be pretty free of sexual effects,but it has other problems. Of course, all AD's have different effects for different people, so what I understand is it's best to find one that works for you with minimal side effects and stick with it.

Hopefully this is temporary? Do things go back to normal when you come off the drug?

The answer is yes to your question. From a male's standpoint, this alone can be very depressing. But compared to some other AD's I've been on, Zyban/Wellbutrin has the least side effects for me. Actually, any drug can effect your libido to some extent. In my younger days, I thought tequila was a wonderful aphrodesiac! Today it's a different story.

There's an upside and downside to every mood altering drug. I would at least talk to my pharmacist before taking anything new. They will usually provide you with a printout of side effects. Incidentally, many people complain about sexual problems while taking AD's including me. It's frustrating! J.B.
