I keep losing wood when I am having sex. I am on an antidepressant, but this isn't one of the reported side effects.

Any suggestions?

It's an antidepressant...so it's going to give side effects (label or not).

What you want to do is exercise beforehand to bring up your testosterone (but, then again, you are doing this during sex, so it's up to you)

You have three options, two easy, one hard.

Easy option 1: Stop taking your antidepressents.

Easy Option 2: Go to a sex shop. If you're willing to spend money on this issue, they've got something that'll help.

Hard option: Work through this. Look into supplements, herbal remedies, excersise, mental issues, etc.

I say, combine options 1 & 2. That, or ask your doctor to put you on Mitrazepine (Avanza). It's not an SSRI so it doesn't come with sexual dysfunction. Well, intially it does, in the first 2 weeks, you'll have iregularities. Ie. coming too fast, or not coming at all, losing boners, etc. But after the first two weeks it's smooth sailing.

Do bits of exercise before you go to do it, you'll be happier and get more turned on.. (testosterone + endorphines)

But doing it should be excersise.

People say a stronger heart (better circulation) gives a better erection, is this true?
