Amitriptyline and Loss of Sexual desire and E.D ?
Hi,
I'm male 21 and have been takeing Amitriptyline, 10 mg for the first week then increased to 20 mg for the second. I have been on it for nearly two weeks (11 days) for irritable bowl syndrome and Anxiety. They seem to be working very well... but since day 2 on this medication I have been experiencing loss of sex drive and my erections don't seem that hard and it feels numb and pleasure is very low.
I'm not sure what to do now as I don't want to loose my sex life and the medication is working very well apart from this side effect.
Will this pass with time and continued treatment ?
Is there another medication which won't cause this side effect ?
Will Nortriptyline have a less chance of causing these side effects ?
Sorry for the long question..... Thank you

Millions of people are diagnosed with STDs in the U.S. each year.
STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging or touching.
Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex.
Discharge often isn't normal, and could mean an infection or an STD.
STDs aren't transmitted through clothing. Fabric is a germ barrier.
Normal vaginal discharge varies in color, smell, texture and amount.
