Depression Med killed my 'little' guy

[Woparican]

About a month ago I was put on a depression medication (ViiBryd) and a week or so into it I slowly started having problems ejaculating. As time progressed it became increasing more difficult. I told my doctor and she insisted it was all in my head and "This medication doesn't have sexual side effects". So I kept taking it. A couple weeks ago I started having trouble maintaining my erection and I would eventually go limp inside my poor wife. A few days ago my dick just died on me. Now I can't even get an erection at all. Nothing my wife or I do can get it to move. I immediately stopped taking the medication and did some research. I found that an uncommon (2%) side effect is... IMPOTENCE. Not only that but for a small number of those people it was permanent.

Now... A week later and I haven't had an erection. It won't respond to masturbation, porn or even my sexy wife's mouth.

What the fuck am I supposed to do? I'm 33, fairly good looking and quite happy with my 7.5 inch buddy. I don't want to make it bigger. I don't want to make it wider or make myself last longer. All I want is my poor shriveled dick to wake the heck up!

Depression kills erections as well.

Yes, but even with severe depression my 'little' guy still worked well. Now after this medication he won't respond to anything. He just hides inside his 'blanket' all day and doesn't want to do anything at all anymore. I'm hoping that I may find some helpful ideas on how to help him come out of his 'shell'. (get it?)

You need to go back to your doctor and tell him/her about the sideeffect it is having. They will change the dosage or they will change the anti depressant, there are many anti D's on the market and how an person responds to them is individual...doctors can't help you if you don't tell them what the problem is.. so if your sexlife is going down the drain and your erection is gone. tell them.

They will probably tell you to stay on it a little longer your body might be adjusting to the meds. if its still a problem in a month or two time, then they will look at other options.

I told my doctor and she told me that it wasn't possible cause there are NO sexual side effects with this medication. The website for the drug said that 2% of men experience impotence and a for a small number it was permanent. My doctor still says I'm wrong and it's all in my head. I'm done with meds and my doctor can go fuck a goat for all I care.

find a different doctor. try finding a male one.. he will understand the importance of erections more than a female doctor. There are many different antis on the market. i suggest you try a new one before completely giving up on them. Even if it is in your head. it says these pills aren't going to work for you, because on some level you have decided they are fucking with your dick
also when reading side effects remember they tend to list everything under the moon to cover themselves legally

Research the drug you are taking. And, yes, get another doctor.

Besides the obvious problem. (You know.. the dead dick thing) I feel much better now that I'm off the medication. I don't plan on taking any more 'depression' meds. I'm hoping that with some time the medicine will make it's way out of my system and my buddy will awake from his slumber. I've put myself on a low food/lots of liquid diet to try to cleanse/flush it out a little quicker. It's been a little over a week since I stopped taking it and these kinds of meds can take weeks or sometimes months to fully make their way out of a person's system. For the last week it's been lifeless and desensitized to the point where it can't feel when I touch it. I can try all I want to 'manhandle' it but it's totally unresponsive. My wife on several occasions has put my flaccid 'little' friend in her mouth and did her very best for way too long to get his attention. I thought she may be able to 'get his blood pumping' with some strong suction but it was unsuccessful.

I was on an anti-depressant years back and it killed my sex life. I don't remember the particular med, but it gave me hardcore ED. I couldn't keep it hard, and when I did I couldn't orgasm, and it didn't even feel good.

It upsets me that a serious side effect like this could just get shuffled into the 'fine print' and doctors push this shit on patients and either don't do their own research or don't care cause they get kick backs from the drug companies to prescribe them. Depression sucks. But a pill to help shouldn't have a side effect that would put most men into a deeper depression. I was way happier being depressed over regular everyday crap and dealing with it than I am popping a pill everyday that makes my 'little' guy go into a coma.
