How To Get Rid Of ED And Mixed Anxiety Depression Syndrome?

I'm a 33 year old male. I am 5 feet 10 inches tall, and I weigh 98 kgs (definitely over-weight). I am on Thyronorm 125 MCG presently. I have erectile dysfunction, and my marriage has remained unconsummated since 4 years. I went to a psychiatrist to get rid of ED, and other issues such as Mixed-Anxiety-Depression Syndrome. The psychaitrist has put me on Fluvoxamine Maleate (UVOX) 200 MG everyday. The ED problem still exists though depression-anxiety have reduced. The ED was there even before the start of psychiatric treatment, so it's not UVOX that has caused it. I'm NOT a diabetic. There is libido but no erection to sustain the coitus. I'm in Bangalore. What should I do?

hiii dear

fluaxamine is excellent drug for depression and anxiety

but it can produce ED

do you have ED since beginning or it started after drug therapy

so if it is started after drug therapy than may be it is drug induce
one can overcome it by reducing a dose
or change molecule which has no effect on erection like agomelatine

it depends upon your psychiatrist
tell them and get advise

if it is since beginning than concentrate on following



1st is life syle
stress and busy life style make u fatigue and secondry to this it makes less desire in sex and erectile problems

2nd is relationship
free communicative and mutual understanding will help
sex is mutual act
so try to do mutually and tell your problem to partner
this will reduce your anxiety and able to erect easily

so stress free lifestyle and mutual communication will help

third is physical health

routine check up and fit physical health is necessary

psychological soundness is must and sun set focus method for erection is very useful . plz read google ab this


so treatment of both is necessary
get well soon
take care
