Hey!

What kind of sexual side effects are you talking about? If you don’t mind me asking

[Johny0687 in reply to Pacobusta1970]

Kind of impotence... Hope it goes away as its the beginning... Have been on this drug before but didnt experience something like this

I was on that medication for about a year. The first few months I wasn't intimate with my partner at all. After awhile i stopped having those side effects but they started up again near the end of me being on it so I started a new medication.

How is now with the new medication...? Ive been ok for 2 years with the same medicine.. After i stopped 1 year and now started again the same that i had before...but hope it will get better, maybe better wait a little more...

Relax ok?

Everything will comeback to normal once you start to feel better

I ve been there many times before 😊

Thank you...but is really terrible i would say more terrible than the panic disorder ive been dealing with from some years...but i should never take any medicine like this if i could get out from my house... Wonder how some people take it just for feeling little anxious or feeling little depressed...
