Can depression cause low sex drive and erection problems in a 34-year-old male?

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. Before I answer your question, I need to know some more information. How are your depressive and psychotic symptoms currently? Depression by itself can cause low libido. But you are on a good dose of anti-depressants.

I have depression and low concentration after taking Ventab plus. Please help.

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. You can taper and stop Ventab plus (Desvenlafaxine and Clonazepam) over a period of one week. We can try you on Bupropion-SR (Bupropion) 150 mg once in the morning for one week followed by 150 mg 1-0-1 (that is one dose in the morning and one dose at night). It does not have sexual side effects and is given to undo sexual side effects. Ventab plus is known to cause sexual side effects in some individuals.
