I can't tell you what would be the best thing to try first, but I do know that delayed male orgasm is a very common side-effect of Paxil (perhaps called Seroxat in .au).
> 1) What would be the dose?
Personally (as with all of these answers, I can only speak from personal experience), I had the same delayed effect no matter the dose -- start low and, er, experiment.
> 2) Would I need to take the Paxil daily, or only if I expected to engage in sex?
You might be able to take it as needed -- I would often skip a dose if I expected to have sex that day (there is such a thing as lasting too long!).
> 3)If only when needed, how long before?
The amount of time can vary from person to person, but I experienced the effect an hour or two after taking it.

What other drugs might also be considered.Anafranil might work better than Paxil, but it also has a lot of undesirable side-effects (at least when taken regularly and at dosages used for mood disorders).

Perchance are either of these worthy of consideration?Not sure what valpro is, but I don't think that Zyprexa would be all that helpful for your situation (I think anorgasmia and decreased libido are more common sexual side-effects caused by the atypical antipsychotics than delayed ejaculation).
Hope this is of some help,
ChristophreP.S.- I really tried to avoid any unintentional puns in this particular post, but I do apologise if you happen to find any!
