I am suffering from erectile dysfunction from last one year it happened suddenly last year after I quit an ssri medication.

Question

Hello-
ssri/anti-depressants reduce the production of nitric oxide, which reduces blood flow that leads to a flaccid penis.
By increasing the inhibition of serotonin recycle, excessive amounts of serotonin interact with other dopaminergic and cholinergic receptors that have negative influences on sex-related functions. For example, ssri drugs elevate prolactin production, leading to a pituitary functional disorder called hyperprolactimia. High levels of prolactin in your bloodstream or any blockage of parasympathetic and sympathetic nerves will prevent an erection.
Fortunately, it can be cured by ayurveda.
