There are several medicines, some prescription and some over-the-counter that can cause impotence, erectile problems and other sexual side effects.

Lithium also known as Lithobid, is a common formula for prescriptions of lithium. Amitriptyline is also known to cause sexual dysfunction and is usually used to treat depression. A neurotransmitter controller, it can also cause high blood pressure, as well as erectile dysfunction. Known as Endep and Elavil for common prescription names.

It's important to note that many medications can cause major low blood pressure problems easily and should be considered unsafe.

There are also over-the-counter medications that can also affect sexual function. General appetite suppressant will often cause erectile dysfunction, because testosterone, which resides in the body is converted so it is unable to help with stimulation of penile muscles. Usually these medications have resulted in a reduction in zinc in the body and can be remedied with a zinc supplement.

Tranquilizers affect neurotransmitters in the brain and slow it down to the point where it can cause a lack of blood flow and circulation and should only be taken when sexual side effects have been taken into consideration.
