I'm having trouble when trying to get intimate with my wife because my penis seems to go loose quickly, and I'm not sure what's happening. I've been off some medications for pseudo-seizures like Zapiz, Topicon, and Pregabid for about six months now. Any thoughts on what the issue might be and if there are any medications I should consider?

It sounds like you may be experiencing erectile dysfunction. I recommend trying a medication called Viagra (Sildenafil) at a dose of 50mg taken 1 hour before sexual activity. This can help improve blood flow to the penis and assist with achieving and maintaining an erection. However, it is important to consult with a doctor before starting any new medication to ensure it is safe for you based on your medical history.
