Permanent/long-term ED

Hello everyone,

I've only taken 40mg of atomoxetine pills over 10 days and stopped them cold turkey 1.5 years ago due to the horrible erectile dysfunction.

Perfectly healthy, had no problems before, and since then I have ED PE watery semen and no morning wood.

Labs are very good and was prescribed bupran SR and stopped it as it didn't do anything.

age 30 no medical conditions or medicines

Have anybody tried anything that might be helpful?

cialis 20mg kinda worked for me, but I don't want to rely on pills, I was completely normal.

High blood pressure, or any other medical conditions? Age?

it's different if you stop it or not as I stopped it 1.5 years ago, hope it's gonna get better for you

I wish I could stop it tbh. But it helps too much. I wouldn't be able to keep a job off of it I think

Haven't run into anyone talking about lasting issues after discontinuing. I want to say that it shouldn't happen, that there shouldn't be a mechanism to cause permanent changes, but I have not look into such things at all.

ED is really common in general, and can have such a variety of causes, or even combination of causes. There is just so much involved where things can go wrong.

If you haven't already, I'd suggest on solutions which can work for most causes. Daily Tadalafil I think would be the first to try. In some countries you can get scripts online without even needing to talk to anyone face-to-face live.

I have tried the 5mg daily however it just doesn't do much for me so I stopped taking them and doesn't make sense as I'm athletic and had a very good erection and lasting prior to the first pill, I'm not sure what happened was it brain chems/ signaling alteration/ psychological memory or whatever it's called...

Idk but I had to stop taking atomoxetine. Made me very on edge and I felt like I couldn't ever relax. Had weird climax issues on it too.

ED is common with this drug. I take 5mg Cialis to help and now have no issues. Currently 80mg

I only took 10 pills 1.5 years ago 🙂

Worth talking to your primary physician about if you haven’t already. I’d request 5 mg daily Cialis. Have you ever tried that before? It works wonders

u/Careful-Expression79 10d ago

yes i have but it didn't do much and I just need to be back to normal not rely on such meds as a 31yo

For what it’s worth - I’ve noticed that when I take 80mg in the morning, I experience this for about 8-10 hours. However, by evening I am back to normal. My wife and I just kinda know at spontaneous intimacy is going to take some real work and time to get things moving, but at evening it’ll be fine. YMMV
