Afternoon
Firstly I am registered blind, but I get on with everything using the available technology.
I am suffering from erectile dysfunction, I have seen the GP, I have tried sinfendil, another one I can't remember and even Caverject injections into the source directly.  None of these work, well the Caverject does with a massive dose but doesn't last for sex.  It is more than likely some of the medication I am taking that causes the issue, but I don't know which one.....also if I stop this medication to test the theory how long will it take before I can try?
thanks

    Welcome to the community @G12345 :) 

    Hmm, that's a tricky one. I'm aware some medications can cause erectile dysfunction. When you spoke to your GP, did they mention that any of the medications you're taking could be the cause? You could also try reading through the information booklet that should come with your medication to see whether this is a known side effect. 

    I'd urge you not to stop taking any medication without first speaking to your doctor.

    Yes, I take Sertraline, that causes the issue with no ejactulation, but not sure which one causes flacid, may be just the diabetes

    Hello @G12345

    Did you manage to get an appointment with your GP to discuss this? Do you still think it may be the medication?

    Have to wait at least 30 minutes before any effect occurs. Then, unfortunately, injected the opposite side of the first injection with another 10 and still not great results. Erection was good enough to penetrate, but only lasted a few minutes.

    That sounds really difficult @valesoloteee - especially with continuous effort but still not great results.

    Is there anything, in particular, that might help things to feel more manageable for you at the moment?
