Suggest Treatment For Erectile Dysfunction

Posted on Wed, 3 Dec 2014

Question: I am a healthy male that was on Lexapro for five years. I have been off of Lexapro for 30 days.
My body is slowly returning to normal. When I was taking Lexapro, my penis shut down.
I have regained erections and I can masturbate again.
Although my penis is erect and I am able to ejaculate through masturbation, my brain has not given me the confidence I need to keep an erection with a female.
Should I ask my doc for an ed pill, Viagra etc.?

Brief Answer:
Viagra can be taken

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

You can consult with your doctor and ask for an Viagra pill. Viagra will help you sustain an erection for a long time.
Along with that I also suggest
1. Exercise daily for 30 min each day. Cycling, jogging and swimming are the best form of exercises
2. Avoid smoking
3. Avoid alcohol before sex
4. Lose weight if you are over weight

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
