Erectile dysfunction??

So this is kinda embarrassing. I'm 24. Been on Humira for about 16 months now and for the past few months I've kinda been struggling to get/stay fully erect. I've done a little reading online and found that it can apparently be a side effect of Humira. I'm not sure if it's this, something unrelated or even just in my head (I've been in my head a lot since it first happened) I have a doctor appointment tomorrow to discuss (which I'm dreading) but just wondering if anyone here has experienced similar problems?

I can understand your embarrassment but doctors have heard it all and won't blink an eye. If you are a young and an otherwise healthy guy it's most likely a medication related problem. It would be wise to consult with a urologist if your doctor isn't sure.
 
Never heard of ED as a sideeffect. No problem here and I'm 58.

Are you taking any anti-depressants?
