Depends: For some people these medicines dont affect libido at all, but for some it's a big issue. You should have doctor check labs including thyroid, testosterone and prolactin to see if there is an imbalance. Whatever the cause, often viagra, levitra, (vardenafil) or Cialis can help in the meanttime.
