In reply to Doc gave me Viagra due to side effects - advice?, posted by jerrympls on November 27, 2003, at 0:39:36
Jerry,
I can totally related. I have been on A/D's for 12 years and I can tell you first hand that viagra works, at least for me. Like any medication it may not work for everyone.
For me zoloft was the worse culprit. Prozac initially, 3 to 4 weeks, kills libido.
I am currently on prozac, remeron and lamictal and I no longer need viagra as remeron and lamictal has zero or little effect on libido and like I said prozac I have been on so long that it no longer interferes with my libido.
For awhile I was going broke since I am with Kaiser and they only pay for half. For 10 viagra tablets, I had to pay a little over $40.
As far as the extended erection is concerned, don't worry about it. The effects of viagra lasts from 3 to 4 hours, but that does not mean that you will have an erection for 3 or 4 hours. Also, there is a very rare condition that will require immediate medical care when an erection lasts and lasts. There is a medical term for it which escapes me at the moment.
So go for the blue! (Viagra is blue in color)

So, my doc prescribed me a trial of Viagra. I'm kinda worried about taking it and having an erection for 3 hours....
