Paxil is thought to affect the levels of serotonin in the brain, which may lead to a decrease in mood, anxiety and sleep quality. Paxil does not protect against sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as gonorrhoea, chlamydia and syphilis. This medication is not recommended for use by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant.

Premature ejaculation (PE) is a common sexual disorder characterized by difficulty getting or keeping an erection hard enough for sex. PE may occur in certain men over the age of 40, however, most men experience symptoms within the first few months of taking antidepressants such as Paxil, SSRIs, or Wellbutrin. PE can last from as little as 3 to 6 hours.
Symptoms of PE can include:
Premature ejaculation can occur when a man ejaculates earlier than he wants during sex. PE is defined as ejaculation before men's fertile days, which are in the late summer or early fall. PE can cause distress and may make a man feel uncomfortable, especially when having sex at night.

Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can also contribute to premature ejaculation. Men with underlying health conditions such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, or heart disease should consult their doctor before using antidepressants such as Paxil, SSRIs, or Wellbutrin.
To treat premature ejaculation, certain medical treatments such as SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor), H2 antagonists (such as Wellbutrin), and an antidepressant such as Wellbutrin are helpful. However, in some cases, medical treatment for PE may not be sufficient. For example, certain antidepressants such as Paxil, SSRIs, or Wellbutrin may not be effective at treating premature ejaculation. It's important to note that the risk of PE increases with age and is higher with older men and those with a history of psychiatric disorders or family history of PE.
It's also important to note that some men may experience PE, and it's best to treat PE as soon as possible after you have started taking an antidepressant.

The idea that I could be an antidepressant was very tempting, especially when I knew I had to be a good sleepwacker. However, I didn’t want to go to the doctor for advice. I knew I could probably get it for free, and I knew it was time to get a new prescription.
