Unlocking the Truth About Erectile Dysfunction: Surprising Causes and Cutting-Edge Treatments You Need to Know Now!
Antidepressants are also commonly associated with ED, as they can make it harder both to get erections and to reach orgasm. They’re also associated with decreased sex drive in general. All antidepressants have a chance of causing ED, but selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) like Lexapro, Prozac and Zoloft are the most likely.
Other medicines that can contribute to ED include:
- Antihistamines and H2 blockers – In addition to allergic reactions and acid reflux, histamine plays a role in erectile function.
- Opioids – Long-term opioid use is associated with low testosterone levels and ED.
Psychological causes of ED
Sex requires the cooperation of your body and mind. So negative emotions like stress, fear or guilt can make it hard to get and maintain an erection, even without any other underlying health issues. The same goes for mental health conditions like anxiety and depression.
