ccgirl · 12-19-2006, 04:42 AM

My husband recently went through some kind of breakdown, so he was put on Prozac (he'd been on it before, years ago). He is experience a lot of sexual problems, such as loss of desire, difficulty maintaining an erection, and trouble with completion.

If he goes to the doctor, what will he probably say? Is there anything thaT helps?

Try Welbutrin sr or xl.
Or any type other than the SSRIs. They're the ones with the worst rep for the sex complecations.

Shalom!
