So, I embarrassed the crap out of myself last night.

I was on a date with a total hottie, a 10. Things were great, chemistry was there, The moment arrived... and I couldn't perform. This is totally unexpected for me.

A little about me.

Im 28 yrs old. Good health for the most part, don't smoke, drink or do any illegal substances

Im on a few prescriptions from my MD. Wellbutrin XL 150 MG for depression and anxiety. I switched to this from citalopram years ago BC of impotence and this fixed it.

Apo-omeprazole 20 mg because of bad acid reflux.

Symbicort 200 Because of had this dry cough that's been getting worse over the last year.

Now I've been on the first two for over a year and NEVER had any ED problem. Ive started the symbicort about a month to a month and a half ago and never had any problem either. I also hadn't masterbated for 5 days prior to this date, kind of in anticipation, I was hoping to go multiple times, as I normally have a very high drive and masterbate 2+ times a day.

I should also mention with the onset of summer, I'm very sensitive to heat and sweating and my skin will drive me bananas with itching when I sweat, so I started taking reactine non drowsy with regular frequency for this.

Im wondering if it may be the reactine, as the last one I took was almost 24 hours ago, and as of this morning I still couldn't get it up or feel much sensation. I ttried again about an hour ago, there was a LITTLE more sensation, but my erection was intermittent and I could not achieve full erection. I DID manage to achieve orgasm but it wasn't anywhere nearly as intense as I would normally be after a week with no masturbation.

Im holding off on taking any more reactine, to see if my drive comes back further. Ive been googling all day and found some references to my inhaler causing sexual dysfunction, but it seems to be very rare, 2%.

Im not sure what's causing this, but id really appreciate some insight, luckily she was super good about it and did her best to make me not feel self conscious, but I have another date in a few weeks with her and id really like to perform :(. Help!

OK so mild update.

Ive stopped my inhaler for now, and haven't taken anymore reactine. Staying on wellbutrin and my stomach meds as those never caused any issues.

I was able to successfully masterbate and achieve orgasm with my toy. I tried again the next day, this time wearing a thinner condom id picked up. While I could feel SOME sensation it wasn't nearly enough for me to stay erect :(.

Any ideas for how to increase sensitivity? Id really like to try to fix this before I see her again! Ive been told ladies have a name for guys who can't perform... "just friends".

Anyone?
