I have been on this medication for awhile now, i found it helped me mentally and with some of the pain..Then i noticed ejaculating was getting more difficult,and getting erections, now i am at the point were i feel it may still be helping me mentally, but not for pain, i have reached the highest MGS i can go..I am thinking about stopping the medication , because of the sexual problems, i also notice with the lack of ejaculation, my prostate seems to be bothering me more.
