Depression and hypertension sometimes occur at the same time, and the logic behind this is not difficult to follow. A man facing emotional issues, family problems and ego issues; his body reacts accordingly to the stress. A troubled man who does not communicate his psychological and emotional pains use random diversions to relieve them, including extramarital sex, food (lots of it), alcohol or designer drugs. Addiction to these diversions could be related risk factors of ED, and other more serious diseases such as hypertension and atherosclerosis.

A man who takes antidepressants regularly to ward off dangerous symptoms of depression or psychological instability will find themselves losing their libido or appetite for sex. The same effect is observed in men using antihypertensive drugs. These two types of drugs affect sex in a relationship, but men who take these have little choice because not doing so could lead to more serious consequences.

The best recommendation for men who want to keep their virility and ward off impotence symptoms would be to take care of their minds and bodies enough so that they may never have to deal with ED induced by taking antihypertensive and antidepressant medication. Because antidepressants and antihypertensive drugs cause libido to plummet, avoiding depression and hypertension risk factors will help prevent ED. A lifestyle change is mandatory to those who want to be healthy for a long time before age effects catch up to them.

Men and women need serotonin-uptake regulators to stay afloat and ward off chronic depression, but these maintaining drugs have a nasty side effect, the loss of sexual desire. When marriage woes and relationship issues become too great, women and men may just need sexual contact more to express their willingness to mend their broken intimacy. Taking antidepressants and fulfilling the need to have sex may lead to coital pain in women, which could be traumatic. The more dangerous scenario would be stopping to take these anxiety alleviation drugs to increase the chances of successful sexual contact. To most women afflicted with severe depression, this is not an option.

While hormone therapy and change in depression medication may be recommended, the more likely solution is a drug that will target FSD (female sexual dysfunction) without requiring the woman to give up her anxiety pills. Viagra, the wonder drug that has helped men regain their sex life for years, is now proven to alleviate antidepressant side effects on sexual desire by increasing lubrication and lessening orgasm delay in women. Taking Viagra may make it unnecessary for women to stop taking antidepressants in order to enjoy satisfying sex with their partners.

The development of a sex enhancing drug for women is long overdue. While vaginal creams that increase lubrication are effective, there is still a need for an effective medication to cure female sexual dysfunction. Viagra (or its organic equivalent, herbal Viagra) could just be the answer that women are looking for.
