paxil help

[cody4444]

My boyfriend has been on paxil since March, he was taking 40 mg of it a day. He has no sex drive and can't stay hard longer then 5 seconds. He cut his paxil by 25% each week and a week and a half ago he was started wellbutrin taking 300 mg and only 15 mg of paxil. 7 days ago he stopped paxikl completely. Still taking wellbutrin and he still has no sex drive nor can he get hard
HELPPP
he also takes 120 mg of adderall
xanax and trileptal at night

I have no idea when the impotence might go away. But if you look at the list below, you may begin to understand WHY he has sexual difficulties. I know he no longer takes Paxil, which eliminates ONE potential source of the problem, but I don't know the half-life of Paxil and it could still be in his system, albiet a small quantity.That still leaves 3 of the 4 meds that have possible sexual side effects. It is definitely time to discuss this problem with his doctor and look for alternative medications.
    
Wellbutrin................Impotence
Xanax..........Decreased libido
Paxil............Impotence, decreased libido, abnormal ejaculation
Adderall.............Impotence, changes in libido
Trileptal.............no sexual side effects found

I wish you both the best.

Well how long until you think until the impotence goes away????

I'd certainly suggest your friend speak with their doctor about this issue. The ARE AD's out there that do not affect sexual function. Odviously time for a change since the Paxil was given a very fair trial.
