Paxil Sexual Side Effects Posted: 06-17-05 01:47am
Hi i'm new here and just started taking
paxil 20mg a couple weeks ago..I've
noticed that I can't come to orgasm
anymore, I can masturbate all night long
and don't even feel an urge...It started
when I began taking paxil...I'm pretty
sure paxil is the culprit, my concern is,
if I stop taking paxil will my sexual
functions come back?

Google "paxil" and read about the side
effects.

I took paxil for a while and I had the
same problem... Well as far as women go.
That is one of the major drawbacks to
antideppressants... "sexual side
effects". Emotionaly you feel fine, you
could just care less about sex.
Talk to your Dr. About it and maybe they
can try something else like effexor or
something with less chance of diminishing
your libido

Well I was finally able to orgasm, it just
took some effort..It does burn a little
bit after I ejaculate but that quickly
fades...It hasn't dimished my need for
sex, so if I stay on it, will I be ok u
think?
