Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hey, I am a smoker for last 27 years. and also over weight. However 4-5 years back I became patient of mild depression and started taking Seroft / Zoloft on doctors advice. It gave me very good results , however as a side effect , my sex drive/ libido has been remarkably reduced. I am married person. I am 48 years old and have no problem of ED, However I don t feel like having sex for even months. Will Damiaplant help me to recover from insufficient libido ? Please advise. Thanks

Hello, Welcome to HCM,
Sex drive is a subjective one and there is no objective way to measure sexual desire or pleasure and every man has to define for himself whether her libido is adequate for him or not.
The factors that contribute to each individual sexuality are complex and unique and some of the possible reasons may be Poor diet, lack of exercise, sleep loss, excessive alcohol, stress, depression, low thyroid function and sexual performance anxiety.
As your thyroid function test is with in the normal limit. You may require counselling regarding the sexual life which may help you to over come the problem.
The cause for the loss of libido should be evaluated before initiating any measures to boost up the libido. The hormone testosterone can be used to treat low libido along with the medicine viagra. Thank you.
