No appetite...

[Strickland]

One morning an old woman asks her husband, "Would you like some breakfast?"
He says, "No. I'm not hungry right now. The Viagra makes me not want to eat."

A little later she says, "Would you like some lunch?"
He says, "No thank you. Still not hungry. Must be the Viagra. I read that it might cause that."

That evening she says, "Would you like some supper?"
He says, "Nope. The Viagra's really ruining my appetite."

She says, "Well then would you get the hell off me? I'm starving!"

That's only if you want it to go away!



But really. Priapism is no laughing matter, and if I ever had it happen to me, I would freak out, given that I know the procedure for getting rid of them. I have had patients contact me or my coworkers on more than a handful of occasions over the years, because they were suffering from this awful side effect. What is even scarier is that Viagra, and other drugs for the same purpose, are not the only drugs that can cause it. In fact, Trazodone, a really commonly used anti-depressant a sleep aid has a risk of causing priapism in males. A buddy of mine called me one morning at work, telling me that he had taken his mom's trazodone the night before to help him sleep, and he had been... erect... for a few hours, and had tried everything, relieving himself, working out, icing it, heating it up, walking up and down stairs, standing on his head. all of the old wives tales. It eventually went away, but I don't think he was happy when the pharmacist I was working with and I told him that he would need to stick a needle in it and drain the blood, and if that didn't work, a surgeon would have to go in and SNIP SNIP, NEVER GET UP AGAIN!
