Diminished Libido, Blurred Vision, Bad Breath. On Antabuse. Impotency?
Can antabuse cause permanent impotence? I've been on antabuse for 7 weeks. I believe I'm one of the 3% or so who experienced this side effect. I noticed my libido drastically diminished during week 6 (in concert, my breath became extremely bad and my vision blurred substantially -- all during weeks 5 and 6). I never experienced any of this before in my life. I always had a great sex life and good vision. I decided to stop taking antabuse, but remain particularly concerned I could stay permanently impotent. I appreciate any feeback

Hello
Thanks for your query.Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have developed varied symptoms related to your sexual potency after taking antabuse for six weeks.
These symptoms are definitely due to side effects of these drugs .
There is nothing to worry about all these symptoms will regress after you stop taking these drugs and you will gain your sexual potency back to normal within 3-4 months .
