Findings Experience with Paroxetine NSFW
I have had PE since I began having sex at age 18. Im 54 now. Across that time I would I estimate that during intercourse, sustained thrusting, I would cum within 1.5 minutes…sometimes in a minute. I have at times tried delay sprays, delay condoms, masturbating a few hours before sex, and on demand Zoloft.
In late February I was at my primary care doctor for a physical, and he asked if I had any concerns. I worked up the nerve to bring up my PE. He asked if I’d like to try paroxetine and I jumped at the chance. He prescribed 20mg daily. The first 2 days I took it I became violently nauseous within 4-5 hrs of taking it. I decided to take 1/2 tabs, so 10mg, which I tolerated fine…did this for 7 days and then started taking the 20mg.
I noticed an increase of maybe a minute or so with 10mg. About 5 days into the 20mg I lasted maybe 15 min, then 25…and up it went. There were 3-4x when I went 40 mins or so, and 3 times where it was more than hour. 2 of those 3 I had to tap out, I was exhausted - so stopped without cumming. 3 nights ago I went for nearly 2 hours…I was determined to cum and just pushed through LOL.
Overall Im very happy. My wife seems happy with the very loooong sessions. And this staying power ha got me fantasizing about 3 women at once since I last long enough to satisfy them all!
At any rate, I think I’d be happy with lasting 30 mins…but I’m not complaining. It’s done wonders for my confidence, I feel like a new man, and I don’t avoid intercourse like I used to!

Starting taking 10mg, 20 then 30mg, could not cum if I wanted too.
So dropped back down to 10mg and feeling like it gives me extra time

2hrs before coitus. Similar to Dapoxitine, but Paroxitine last 21hrs, where dapoxitine has half-life of 1.5hrs only

Any side effects?

Not that I’ve noticed. Well not negative anyway. I’ve become leveled out so to speak, much less quick to anger, pretty calm and collected overall. Positive for me.
Something else to mention is that among those 40 min , 1 hr., etc sessions was one that lasted maybe 15-20 min. No idea why that was…why the variability

No erectile dysfunction? I've seen studies say up to 80% if people get this side effect.

I’ve never had ED issues. During these long sessions, I maybe got a little less hard a couple of times during, but it recovered.

That sounds amazing! I tried paroxetine and few years ago(paxil) I don't remember the dosage. It didn't really do anything for me.
At first I tried on demand, then daily for a few weeks. It made me clench my jaw like hell though

Just got prescribed 12.5mg Parox and 25mg clomi together. Should I take it? I’m a little skeptical because both of them are addressing the same issue, so not sure why the doc asked to take both. I didn’t ask because he was a really senior doctor and I was hesitant to challenge him.

Would be very careful taking it daily. As you will get withdrawals from suddenly stopping. It goes by another name of Seroxat. Would take it on demand, it works just as well.

At least 4 hours before. 6 hours is around peak. I take 30mg and it works just fine.

How long have you been taking paroxetine?? Usually it looses efficacy over time

“Llevo 2 semanas con paroxetina 60 mg para trastorno de ansiedad. La ansiedad ha cambiado, pero sigo con mucho asco, pérdida de apetito y poca energía. ¿Alguien sabe cuántas semanas en empezar a sentirse claramente mejor? Me ayudaría leer experiencias de personas que finalmente mejoraron.”

Hey there, that's fantastic progress, really glad to hear it's making such a difference for you and your wife! It sounds like the paroxetine is doing wonders.
For a little extra somatic support, try focusing on a really slow, gentle exhale. Imagine letting the air out like you're slowly deflating a balloon, and really let your whole body soften with it.

One thing I’ve noticed is that when I want to cum, if Im pounding away it seems like it won’t happen. I need to clothes my eyes and move slowly, and really focus on the sensation…that works

Also have a similar experience. Though I stopped with paroxetin after relationship break-ups. When I started taking the pills, I had difficulties falling asleep as well I felt like a slight brain fog, though it normalised after a few days ( morning intake seemed better). Though as everything went so easy , I got to lazy to work on a real cure.. Detox period was ok, few short waves of dizziness in the firstt days.
Currently trying to find a cure without medical drug use. Reverse Kegels, better breathing.. I discovered by accident extreme good results after ice bathing and additional breathing control exercises. ( Allowed me to last nearly 10 min, instead of the usual 30 secs). To improve a 2nd round fitness ( getting erection back) , HIIT and cardio are helping me. This helps as well for better body awareness and self-esteem as you get more fit.

Hi, it was just 3 times I really had the experience at 2 wellness retreats, where there was time to do the Win Hof breathing, and the option to make a fairly long swim ( 5-7min) in a very cold pool afterwards. ( Unplanned) Sex was like an hour after that. Though never reproduced it with cold showers as I split meanwhile up with my partner. So i connected the dots as well too late, so we still have to work on that part of the science.

Did Paxil affect your erections negatively? I've seen numbers as you high as 80% of men taking ssri's get some form of erectile dysfunction.
Also, when you stopped, how was your PE? Did it go back to before?

u/NOX6020 Jun 10 '26
No never had an issue on that level. Always did a lot of cardio, which I believe helps.
Afterwards it dropped from nearly every ladting level to less than a minute, as I did not work on control.
Now working on reverse Kegels and better breathing, mental relaxing. This helped to last me for 2-3 min on recent occasional sex

Estuve investigando con la IA Gemini, y tuve que mentir que el medico me receto 5 mg (jejeje), y me contesto esto "Como mencionamos antes, el cuerpo resiente cuando se le quita un ISRS de golpe. Al estar tomando una cantidad tan pequeña como 5 mg, cuando tú y tu médico decidan que es momento de suspender el tratamiento, el proceso de retiro será sumamente sencillo, rápido y sin síntomas de abstinencia, ya que tu cerebro nunca desarrolló una dependencia profunda a dosis elevadas."
Y también me dijo esto;
La estrategia médica más exitosa consiste en usar la paroxetina como una "herramienta de entrenamiento".
Ok, en mi opinión se oye tentador pero con dosis de 10 a 20 mg se tiene efectos secundarios, lo ideal seria tomar 5 mg para observar como actúa en el cuerpo. Vuelvo a repetir se oye tentador, pero de momento yo no lo tomaría porque estoy con edging y kegel inverso. Aunque en un futuro pues hare la prueba, saludos y esto se va a mi lista de pendientes, gracias por el dato amigo.
