A member asked:
Does 5 htp often cause loss of sexual funtion in males if taken for a lond period of time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not really: "delayed ejaculation" is a more likely effect of any serotonergic compound, including 5-htp. What are you taking it for? Increased anxiety is more likely affect you than 5-htp. And one more thing: some of my patients have sexual side effects from antidepressants. Most of the times, we are able to overcome it by adding some other staff instead of stopping the medication.
