Post Anti-depressants getting in the way

Hello I've started taking Aropax (for anxiety reasons) for the past few weeks and have noticed one bad effect along with all the beneficial ones...that bad effect is I can no longer orgasm!! I can get to the point where I'm about to, then nothing happens! My g/f is very understanding but this is driving me nuts, has anyone been in the same boat?? What can I do to get my sex life back?

Moggy,
Aropax (paroxetine) does cause sexual side effects in both men and women. Some of the side effects tend to disappear over time, so I suggest that you stay on the Aropax for another four weeks.

If the problems persist, you might want to try a different antidepressant. Aropax is one of several antidepressants called SSRI's, the side effects vary from one person to another.

Take care,

Mats (nurse)

When I was on Prozac I was practically a nympho. If your meds don't work for you (sex-wise) after a while, maybe you should try it. I'm a female & I don't know if would affect you differently, but it's worth a try. Give your current meds to fully kick in though--see if there's any improvement.

Cool

This is one of the better-known side effects of the SSRIs, including fluoxetine (Prozac, Zactin), paroxetine (Aropax, Paxil), citalopram (Cipramil, Celexa), fluvoxamine (Luvox, Faverin) and sertraline (Zoloft, Lustral). In general, they cause delayed ejaculation (and delayed orgasm in women equally), which may be *so* delayed as not to occur at all. This is undoubtedly dependent on dose. And in men it is frequently a desired effect, which can be used to treat premature ejaculation.

Some are claimed to cause it less, but psychiatrists are often of the opinion that this there is really no difference, however, it *is* observed that one person may have a given problem with one drug and not another. So another drug from the group may be worth trying (but of course, no point trying another brand of the same drug).

Mind you, the antidepressant effect for some people outweighs this - or indeed any other - side effect, and perhaps Silverwillow is/ was in that category!

I'm on Celexa 60mg/day. I have a similar problem. My ejaculation is delayed a lot. My g/f really doesn't mind- we're able to go much much longer. However- it makes it nearly impossible to have a 2nd and 3rd orgasm.
A few weeks ago-we went for about 3 hours. No joke-nearly 3 hours- and because of the the Celexa i was able to last that long- however- also because of the meds- i only had 3 orgasms that entire time.
