Editing Pathophysiology of Erectile Dysfunction (section)

===== Psychotropics (antipsychotics, antidepressants, anxiolytics) =====
* '''Commonly produce sexual symptoms'''
* '''SSRIs'''
** '''Up to 50% of patients experience increased sexual dysfunction''', mainly anorgasmia.
*** Adverse effects can be modified by co-treatment with other drugs such as a PDE5 inhibitor or mianserin (atypical antidepressant).
** '''Differ in their ability to cause ED'''
*** '''Paroxetine associated with higher rates of ED compared to citalopram'''
* '''GABAergic drugs - inhibit erection'''
* '''Tricyclics - orgasmic dysfunction and inhibit ejaculation'''
* '''Monoamine oxidase inhibitors - orgasmic dysfunction'''
* '''Benzodiazepines - higher rate of sexual dysfunction'''
*'''<span style="color:#ff0000">Bupropion</span>'''
** '''A norepinephrine-dopamine reuptake inhibitor'''
** '''<span style="color:#ff0000">An alternative antidepressant that is not associated with ED</span>'''
*** Addition of bupropion or a PDE5 inhibitor to an antidepressant seems to be an effective method to correct antidepressant-associated ED
