How To Increase The Sex Drive In Men?
I have been taking diazepam for the last 2 months to help sleep. I found it was lowering my sex drive the las couple of weeks and causing erection problems. I stopped taking the drug 1 week ago. How long will it take until I am back to normal sexually and can I increase the recovery time

Hi,
Diazepam can lower the sex drive and also cause other sexual disorders however the effect should wane off in few days time. Please visit a psychologist / psychiatrist for ruling out other reasons for loss of drive if it doesn't get back to normal in a fortnight. For sleeplessness, I would not recommend Diazepam to you as it causes dependency. Please seek consultation for it also.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
