sexual disfunction with combined drugs

has anyone ever heard of toradol causing erectile disfunction ? I am on toradol, oxycocet and tylenol 650mg arthritis medications.  I have absolutely no drive.  Is this a possible side effect from the pills ?  I have been taking this medication for over a year now ...   5 oxycocet, 3 toradol and 6 tylenol per day .

Tantrum,

 

The short answer is yes.

 

BUT, there are problems here in addition to sexual dysfunction. Toradol is a short-use medication, not to be taken for periods longer than five days. Between the Oxycet and Tylenol, you may also be overdosing on acetaminophen. Too much acetaminophen can be very harmful to the kidneys and liver.

 

Beyond that, all of these medications put you at very high risk for medication overuse headache, aka rebound. If you're taking them for headache or Migraine, it's most likely that the medications are making things worse rather than better. See Medication Overuse Headache - When the Remedy Backfires for more information.

 

Good luck,

Teri
