Hi I am male 26 years old I have been using Duvanta 20 mg for Anxiety disorder which contains duloxetine composition since 2 Years, off late I noticed that my libido is neutralised and during a sexual intercourse 6 months ago penis erection was not effective and becoming soft in middle of the intercourse I thought it was because of stress, but in a recent sexual intercourse again the same issue. And also I am not waking up with morning erection so I stopped using this Duvanta 20 mg, my aim now is to gain normal sexual health how is it possible?

duvanta does produce sexual dysfunction. it can be regained by stopping the medicine for few weeks. There are alternate drugs for anxiety, which does not produce sexual dysfunction. All the best

Dear Teja, It is one of the side-effects of Duvanta. It is only drug induced and temporary - you will get back your sexual power after stopping the tablets. You can request other treatment for anxiety that also causes problems
