Hello I am a healthy male of 48 yars old.
I started taking antidepressants just after starting chemo therapy for hep c in Jan 06.
The therapy lasted 48 weeks ending in 12\06.
I am now on a combo of wellbutrin 10mg and leaxapro20 mg. I suffer from no or very little penil sensation while having sex or masterbating causing delayed or no climax or ejacutlation.
I do not have erectile issues as of now.
How may I counter act this sympton.
Thank You
Joe Herrera

 Hi Joe,
I suspect your issues are related to the Lexapro, an antidepressant in the category of selective serotinin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI's). SSRI's are well know to cause these side effects.
It can be difficult to treat these effects while on the medicine. All the SSRI's can cause these symptoms but you may want to talk with your doctor about trying a different SSRI. You may be able to find one with less of this effect on you.
Best wishes.
