Erectile dysfunction does not appear to be a known side effect of tramadol ... however, it may be possible.

Usually if side effects like erectile dysfunction are due to a medicine, then when you stop taking that medicine the problem should resolve. If you can take another medicine for your pain, instead of tramadol, then you may be able to see if it makes a difference. If it doesn't then please discuss with your doctor.

Hello, I have been taking tramadol for about 5 years now and most of the time while I am on it I can keep an erection for a while and it takes me a while to ejaculate so the sex with my wife is great. But for some reason every now and again and a lot lately I will be on tramadol and I have a erection but it goes away real quick before or during intercrose and it makes my wife feel like it's her and I know it's not because she is beautiful and turns me on. So I am afraid it is the tramadol doing or something else causing me to not keep an erection. If anyone has any other ideas why this could be happening PLEASE help.

You know have been taking tramadol for a ong time now 10 years and yes I must say that it does effect my sex drive. Because when I don't take them my sex drive is thru the roof but when I do take them it totally opposite.

Hi, Tramadol is a strange medication, in the sense that it carries many side effects that aren't listed, or that few people have heard of. As Marvell has said, it is possible that your issue lies within taking Tramadol. As she has written, discontinuation could improve your problem, is there an alternative pain medication that you could use?
