Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your problem. The medicines you are taking is one of the causes of your erectile dysfunction. You are suffering from depression. I would suggest you take those medicines which do not cause erectile dysfunction. I will suggest you visit a nearby psychiatrist, for a newer antidepressant such as Vilazodone or Bupropion, which are free from sexual side effects and having high antidepressant action. Diabetes is a major cause of erectile dysfunction. Keep a close watch on blood sugar levels by checking HbA1c blood level (glycated hemoglobin). Thank you.
