In reply to PAXIL - sexual dysfunction !, posted by ben on October 28, 2001, at 14:00:31
I'm not sure what sexual dysfunction you're experiencing, but I can take a good guess. Delayed ejaculation? Paxil is used as a treatment sometimes for people who have "stamina" issues. It works very effectively for increasing stamina. In a lot of situations, too effectively. It gets really hard to hit the O. Gets very frustrating and isn't cool. You could try lowering the dose. If that doesn't help and you've had enough, try another SSRI. When getting off Paxil I'd recommend lowering the dose very slowly and adding something like prozac to help the withdrawal symptoms that a lot of people have. Horrible withdrawal from my experience - depersonalization, out of touch with the world, extreme anxiety, feeling like I was permantently messed up from Paxil. Anyways, hope you can find a solution.
