Dear Doc, Good Afternoon. I Have Been Taking Paroxetine 25
Question: Dear Doc,
Good afternoon.
I have been taking Paroxetine 25 mg as prescribed by my psychiatrist since many years. I am married now. Due to this medicine I am unable to have a good sex life as my erection is less, it's in banana shape and I can't feel hardened. Without taking medicine for two days, I find my penis more hard and willing for sex. As I can't leave this medicine, I want to the know the alternative solution in any form so that my sex life doesn't suffers.
