What Causes Weakness During Intercourse, Neck And Hand Tremors?
Question: I am 45 years old and suffering from bipolar since 2007 and taking medicine diva 500 mg, oxetall 600 with arim mt 10mg. now a days i am feeling more dull and feeling weaker in sex and little shaking of neck and hands, it is due to prolonged medicine or some thing else. please reply and suggest some medication or advice
Brief Answer:
It can be the side effects of the drugs
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for writing through HCM.
Tell me about the drugs, when each of them started? at the beginning which drugs you were taking? Is there any change in the drugs recently? for How many days you are feeling shakiness?
Are you feeling depressed now a days?
Drugs like Divaa and Oxetal both can cause shakiness, but they are not in higher dosage. Even they are in very low dosage. At this dose both of them usually do not cause any significant side effects.
Arip-mt can also cause this. But if you were taking same drugs in same dose for more than a year then they are not supposed to cause this after 1 to 2 year, If it had to occur then It would have occurred in the beginning.
Do you have any other symptoms apart from these? like difficulty in walking, tremors in hands, double vision, giddiness, sedation etc.
Revert back with answers to the questions. I am waiting for the reply.
Wish you good health.

Thank you Doctor for your quick response. Divaa 500 mg 1-0-1, Oxetall 0-0-1 and Arip MT 0-0-1 (Arip started 6-7 months ago). If this dosage has no side effect, kindly advice any remedial medicine to improve erictile disfunction without side effect.
Brief Answer:
This is not the side effects of the drug
Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for writing again.
Erectile dysfunction is not a side effect of the drugs, instead arip is suppose to improve your sexual problems.
Oxetol can cause low sex drive but erectile problems are not associated with it.
Sometimes anxiety and stress can also cause erectile problems and then a vicious cycle starts which continues as failure in bed and further increase in the anxiety. Conflict between the partners, work load, excessive sedation and fatigue all can lead to erectile problems.
You need to consult your psychiatrist and tell your concerns.
Behavioral modifications during sex like spending more time in foreplay before going for penetration is more important. Remove thoughts of past failures from your mind. You do not need drugs for this. Once you use, it becomes the habit. Drugs like viagra are not even safe, they have so many side effects.
Sexual counselling and psychotherapy will help. Also you shouldn't have uncontrolled blood pressure and sugar levels. It can cause erectile dysfunction. supplements rich in vitamine E, zinc, selenium will help. eat high protein diet.
I won't recommend using any drugs for this.
