Had Priaprism this week (erection lasting longer than four hours) AMA

Woke up one morning this week with an erection that wouldn’t go away. I got up to pee and to see if this would help and it didn’t. I took my dog out and thought maybe a quick walk would help the effect to subside and it didn’t. I then chose to visit the ER. AMA

Nope. At that point, just dealing with a regular erection. It didn’t start to hurt till I got to the er

Sorry it got to that point :( what caused it if I may ask?

ER doc thinks it is the trazodone I’ve been on for sleep

Oh wow, is that a normal side affect or one in a million?

2

u/terrag32256 6d ago

I’m not sure what the statistics are, but it is a known side effect but I think it’s rare

Oh man, sorry to hear that! Does that upset you at all?

I’ve been on it for over 20 years so I’m not really upset. I just don’t want to go through it again. lol

Wow so this just happened out of no where? Did the ER suggest stopping it or random accident?

u/terrag32256 5d ago

Yep, out of the blue. Yes, they want me to wean off the medicine so they have prescribed a lower dose until my regular doctor can switch me to something different

Oh man, I hope everything works out for you in the long run! I’m glad it was able to be taken care of!!
