Hi everyone,
I would like some advice on Paroxetine concerning sexual side effects. I have been on Seroxat since November and have been experiencing a few problems. My main problem is not being able to reach orgasm, so far I have only been able to reach through masturbation but not with my girlfriend who is a bit concerned, understandably.
I do not know what to do as it is really hard to reach orgasm, and very frustrating for myself and my partner. I always have sex drive and no problems in erection, just I can go on forever and eventually get too tired to carry on. I find quite a lot too that if I have not ejaculated in a few days I feel like I am going to right after I urinate, and sometimes feel like I am going to ejaculate at random times if I have not recently.
If I do ejaculate the manner in which I do has changed also, its almost like I have double ejaculations...but the first one doesnt have an orgasm and I have to power through to actually reach orgasm - is this normal?
I saw the doctor today and said about this and his only advice was not to lower the dosage, either up it or change medication. In the end he told me to change to Citalopram 20mg from tomorrow and to stop taking Paroxetine.
I am a little concerned about this as I have experienced the withdrawal effects after going cold turkey for a few day over christmas and would never like to experience that again! Then theres the possibility switching meds could just have the same result with orgasm anyway!
Has anyone any advice on this matter? Should I just try and get through this somehow? The tablets are wonderful for my anxiety and OCD other than this side effect.
Very embaressing but thanks in advance for any advice/help I really appreciate it!
