I'm 23 years old and dealing with both depression and anxiety..... and lets say they are killing my sex drive. Would it be unreasonable to ask my doctor for pills for my ED?

Not at all, go for it! Most men have a problem talking sex with their doctor and never get the help that they need.

Good Luck!

How to stop erectile dysfunction affecting your relationship
Erectile dysfunction can be described in several ways. But essentially you have erectile dysfunction when you cannot keep an erection for long enough to enjoy vaginal intromission (penetration) and sexual intercourse with vaginal thrusting or when you lose your erection during sex.

We can try some generic drugs to solve your problems.

IMHO, I think that (and I am not male) there may be issues that you need to talk with the doctor about. The problem in treating depression is that most of the pills (with some exceptions) cause ED, while at the same time, depression can also cause it. I know what the pills do in women from my own experience and that was more depressing than the depression! Anyway, there may be a medical reason. A lot of other stuff mentioned in some of these comments may be the placebo effect because I have never heard of them. I was with a lot of men in their 20s back in the day, and they usually didn't have an ED problem unless they were totally drunk or on heavy duty drugs. So you at your age having a problem is an issue that needs to be addressed. There are medical problems that can cause it. Definitely talk to a doctor that you feel comfortable with and totally leveling with the honest truth. That is just my input from a female standpoint. And even at my ripe old age of 57, I still have desire and I feel blessed for that. There are a lot of medical options out there. And alternative options too. But be careful of scams. Good luck.

You definitely should talk to your doctor. I started having ED around 18 and back then, it wasn't something people talked about openly and there were no medications. In my experience, yes, there are some drawbacks to the meds but they have allowed me to be able to have regular sex and we've been able to have 3 great kids that wouldn't have happened without going to the doctor and getting help. Good luck.

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
