Brief Answer:
You can have a baby
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Its good to know that your depressive symptoms have subsided with the use of depran. Its a good medicine and quite safe but yes it can cause erectile dysfunction. You may take 2mg/4mg cyproheptadine to counter act the sexual side-effect of depran. The problem of ejacualation at night is not a serious problem and it will not effect your capacity to become a father. As such if your depression has been cured you may even consider getting yourself withdrawn from depran as per your psychiatrists advice.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
