In reply to Paxil and sexual dysfunction! Help!, posted by coplo on December 30, 2004, at 2:52:24
> I am currently being treated for anxiety using Paxil. As many people know it causes sexual dysfunction. In my case it's pretty bad, but it's the only med that works for me. I am trying to find out if any other males out there have themselves taken/or take Paxil and experinced sexual dysfunction and were able to overcome using something from over the counter rather than the often recommended addition of another prescription drug (like Wellbutrin, Remeron etc.)
> Any advice is welcome, but I am primarily looking for people who have actually tried to use something non presciprtion with Paxil and it worked/ helped with the sexual dysfunction.

I was on 20mg of paxil for almost a year and ejaculation was always a problem but I did find that diphenhydramine (ie benedryl or nytol sleep aids) increased my sexual arrousal quite a bit and made ejaculation less rare, although it was still hit and miss. I went to effexor and initially had the same problem but all went away after about 6 months.
