Hi!

My bf is bipolar and I was wondering if anyone can help with this problem. When we have sex, he is erect and fine, but about 4 - 5 minutes into it, he loses his erection. This happens every time and he thinks it could be his meds. Anyone know of this problem and if meds can cause it? He is on something called Zprexa.

Hi and Welcome !


It could be his meds, but he needs to ask the doctor about it.

I looked up the meds and it is not one of the side effects listed. He is calling his dr today to see if he can get his meds switched... I hope they can do something, as he doesnt need this added stress!

Did you post on one of the other boards awhile back? If not this is the second person I have heard of having this problem on bp meds....not sure what the other one was....thought he was on Lamictal.

Might try one of the ED meds....Cialis has done wonders for me.
