How To Regain Sex Ability Which Lost After Taking Medication For Stroke?

sirs, I had a stroke October 2009, since returning home I have been taking first 2.5 mg of Ramipril and every time the dose was raised, first to 2.5 twice a day then now 5mg once a day I first found I was feeling weak, now my sex ability is almost gone I find this unacceptable as I have a relationship, I believe I haven t been offered an alternative because of financial constraints on the health service, but now want to ask for an alternative directly, could you help?

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello thanks for using healthcaremagic.
In your case first I need to know which part of brain is affected! As if some part which directly controlling your sexual activity from brain to penis is affected it is difficult to treat. May be a newere molecule methylfolate+phosphodiesterase inhibitor (Tetrafol Plus) may help you. Considering your hypertension tadalafil may be useful.Ask your treatng doctor about these options , he can refere you to some psychiatrist for this.
