Hi,

I understand your concerns about Erectile dysfunction (ED).

Zoloft is known to contribute to ED. Even xanax causes some degree of ED.

Please ask your doctor if these drugs can be modified.

I'm actually diagnosed with OCP and panic disorder. I might be a schizophrenik as well. I have mental issues.

Those drugs work perfectly on my mental issues, and I don't know should I remove any of them. The only problem is the ED.

According to you, doc, which one of those drugs (xanax, rissar, zoloft) is least necessary for my treatment? Or would you add some medication for the ED?

Zoloft to e replaced

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Zoloft is mainly responsible for ED but also necessary for your treatment. You can request your psychiatrist if this can be replaced by a different medicine or therapy.

No other medicines are required for ED correction.
