Citalopram and fluoxetine did not directly affect penile erection as objectively assessed by rigiscan, although an impairment in the subjective assessment of erectile function was observed, but was significant only for citalopram, and it was thought to be a possible consequence of the delayed ejaculation perceived as erectile dysfunction.

If you have visited a psychiatrist and they have prescribed these medications you should have belief in the doctor. They have the best in mind for you and your loved one. If you have questions regarding treatment you can talk to the psychiatrist who prescribed the medication. I hope this helps. Take care and I hope your mother gets well soon.

Exercise regularly, atleast walk for 30 min daily. Eat high fibre and low fat food. Eat salads. This will control your weight.
