I am a 24 year old male who is taking half a tablet of 25 mg sertraline every day to treat my anxiety. Is this low of a dosage able to impact my ability to get an erection? Thanks so much!

It may affect or may not. It varies between individual to individual. If it does, there are alternate medications which treat the anxiety without much impact on erectile capacity. Good luck

Dear Zachariah, In a sensitive individual, even 25 mg of sertraline can cause erectile dysfunction. There are other tablets to treat anxiety. You can try therapy to manage your anxiety so that you don't need tablets.
