Spoken like a true professional. Now on to the Prostate!
Tampa knows about depression, so does
Logan, and everyday I swallow my Seroxat pill. You are in luck LPdude that most of us here on the forum are maniacal depressives. We are great cheer leaders. Like others I care a great deal in having my erection.
In doubt do consult a doctor...
Dear Robert,
Thanks for broaching a subject that most guys are unwilling to think about, much less talk about. I would like to add my two cents worth based on my personal experience. Everything you said about anti-depresents can be true. One of my best friends is bi-polar and, essentially also addicited to sex. So, when he is given a new anti-depressant, he made it clear to the doctor that he wasn't ready to be mothballed, sexually speaking. You can chose any way you want to express your concern to your Doctor. They have many pharmaceutical options to select from and they understand your concern. If they don't, then you need to find a new doctor who does.
Changing the subject slightly, as we get older our
beloved prostate just keeps on getting bigger and bigger. So men who notice a weaker than usual stream of
urine or have difficulty producing a stream at all are in most cases suffering from an enlarged prostate due to age. There are medicines that help open up the potential blockage of
urine, but in my experience they do a little more that is frequently withheld i n the doctor's explanation of the side-effects. In other words, if you like edging for 90 minutes or more every time you attempt to have an orgasm, a steady consumption of these medicinal wonders only add considerable time to be able to orgasm. So much more time that most guys, like myself, simply would give up having nothing to show for their extreme efforts, other than being turning shades of purple and blue with an almost unachieveable goal to simply orgasm.
What I want to emphasize is that not everybody needs to take these medicines daily.
If you are like me, one dose immediately improved my urine stream back to normal and that same dose was good for 4 to 5 days before I could observe a change in my stream again. That means you have, much like a space launch, a "window of opportunity between pills to have your cake and eat it too", sexually speaking free of unwanted side-effects. I take
Flowmax CAP 0.4 MG first thing in the morning and forget about it until I see a change in
urine my stream slowing down. Originally, I
stupidly took this medication daily only to get terribly frustrated trying to have an orgasm because this medicine makes orgasms much more difficult to achieve and much smaller in volume too. So, before you give up on your sex life altogether, due to one of these medicines meant to treat an enlarged prostate, check with your doctor first if you must, but I have been told there are no negative effects stretching the doses out in keeping with your individual diffuculty with urinating.
I realize this only applies to us older guys, but most older guys are not ready to abandon their sex life any more than anyone else.
Good luck to you. You know who you are!
Sincerely hope your not pissed off,
Stimpy
