> On Anafranil , it takes me a long time to ejaculate. I think I'm getting tired of pounding my girlfriend for hours on end. She's not complaining however. Why is this?
Michael - There are a number of theories on this but I believe it has to do with the stimulation of serotonin-2A receptors. Since Anafranil is the TCA closest to the SSRIs in action (blocks serotonin reuptake much more than norepinephrine reuptake) it has similar sexual side effects to the SSRIs. Some find this a curse; others a blessing. Actually the SSRIs are being used to treat premature ejaculation. Hope this helps - CAm W.
