Q: What is Causing Impotency? Is it Zoloft? Should I consider
asked by: DoctorQuestion on March 5th, 2006
I have a problem recently. I just broke up with my ex around xmas, didn't want her sexually anymore, wasn't in love anymore either. Also I recently came off of Zoloft because I could never come and would lose erection with my last girlfriend in minutes. Well, I met this new girl, I am so into her, I am nervous. The thing is I can get an erection, but the second we go to do it, I go limp. I am afraid. I don't want it to ruin this new thing. It seems like it is nerves. . . . but can viagra help with this? I am only 27. I wake up with morning erections, so my unit seems to still work. . . .I am nerved out I think. I have not been masturbating lately either, I used to do it a lot but I went like a week or two without, and I did it this morning and came before I even got hard!!!!!!!????? Is it broken? Should I try viagra or something? I don't smoke, I exercise, I am a vegetarian, should I eat more meat? Do I just think about it too much. . . but how can I not, when it is so important to me? Advice anyone? Am I going to be like this forever?

People taking Zoloft can experience an erection for a few minutes. At this time, however, you report a lack of erection, not even for a few seconds. Zoloft is important for treating anxiety disorder. Anxiety can cause impotency. I don’t think that Viagra will help you but you should not lose anything if you try it. You can ask for expert help from mental health professional or a doctor who prescribes Viagra.
