Question 1

is it safe to take viagra if your on lexapro (escitalopram)?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, these treatments are not contraindicated.  Always best to check with your physician just in case - but should be fine.  Hope this helps!

Question 2

i suffer from libido as a result of taking lexapro (escitalopram) for g a d.my dr stated to inject my penis rather than viagra.am i correct. thanks?

Accepted Answer

Lexapro (escitalopram) kills libido: I suspect the Lexapro (escitalopram) is the culprit.  You have another option for an anti-depressant which can be an add on, buproprion.  I suspect there is more to your story if the doctor has advised injections instead of a trial of Viagra or the like.  Personally, I would try other options for my patient prior to advising injections.  Have a frank discussion with your doctor regarding the anti-depressant.

Question 3

i am on lexapro (escitalopram) for ga d.i suffer from loss libido as a result.my dr states that he can inject meds into penis rather than viagra.is he correct.

Accepted Answer

Neither: If your problem is one with libido, meaning the desire to have sex, an injection or a medication that stimulates bloodflow to the penis will do NOTHING to make you WANT to have sex and so your mental health is something you need to discuss first, possibly with your prescriber for another SSRI that won't affect your libido. Best of luck.

Question 4

can i try ayurvedic medicine at the same time as taking viagra (sildenafil)?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: You should always discuss *all* of the medicine you are taking with your doctor. It is improtant to remember that all medicine, even herbal medicine and vitamins can have side effects. They also can potentially interact with prescription medicine to increase or decrease the effect of the medicine.

Question 5

is it safe to take viagra, alcohol, and adderall at the same time?

Accepted Answer

: Adderall and alcohol are not compatible, please do not drink alcohol if you take adderall.
There is no interaction between adderall and viagra.

Question 6

is starting a prescription of buspar (buspirone) and cipralex at the same time safe?

Accepted Answer

Caution: Buspar (buspirone) interaction with escitalopram (Cipralex) may cause serotonin syndrome, an excess of serotonin in the brain. Symptoms may include confusion, increased heart rate, hallucinations. Taking these medications requires careful medical supervision. Talk with prescribing doctor for guidance. I hope this helps.

Question 7

can a person take ssri /cipralex/ and acetylcholinesterase inhibitor /donepezil/ at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Drug Interaction: Checker showed possible mild, clinically insigficant interaction potential. Actual possible sxs- not listed. Answer is yes.

Question 8

what is the recommended mg of viagra (sildenafil) for first time users?

Accepted Answer

Typically: Goes by weight and should be started off low at first to make sure there is no adverse reactions.

Question 9

penis getting soft and not staying hard for long enough time. is age 38 too young for viagra (sildenafil) or similar meds?

Accepted Answer

Not too young: If taking means difference between satisfactory and unsatisfactory sex. However you are young and might consider consulting with a urologic ED expert in case you have a correctible vascular problem. Please quit  if you smoke and get a better saddle if you are a cyclist with a hard saddle and no midline groove.

Question 10

what is the chances of getting permanent vision problems from taking viagra (sildenafil) 25 mg? what is the percentage? thanks so much for your time.

Accepted Answer

Very low: Vision problems with Viagra (sildenafil) occur in 2-11% of patients. Most of these are transient like color changes or blurring. These are usually dose-related meaning more likely with higher doses such as 100mg. More serious complications like optic nerve damage are fewer than 2% (Probably more like 0.01%) Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
