Delayed ejaculation resulting from zoloft

by valdezcl, Apr 06, 2004 12:00AM
My boyfriend is currently taking zoloft which is affecting our sex life.  He is unable to ejaculate during sex.   Is there a prescription drug that can assist with this?  I heard that cialis can assist with this but when I researched it.  I found that cialis assists with erection dysfunction.

Cialis is a new medication that helps erectile dysfunction.  It is in a similar class to Viagra and Levitra.

Unfortunately, sexual dysfunction is a common side effect for Zoloft and similar medications (i.e. Prozac and Paxil).  If this is a consideration, changing medications can be discussed.  Other antidepressants, such as Wellbutrin or Wellbutrin XL, are another class of antidepressants that does not have sexual side effects.

Discussion if this medication can be done with your personal physician.

Followup with your personal physician is essential.
