Help am 27 yr old female and I have been taking paxil for more then 6 months now. Recently I was intimate with my crush and sexual pleasure and stimulation was difficult but no impossible to fully achieve. My orgasms before paxil were multiple, hot and easy to achieve now there delayed, longer to achieve and far from intense. It's driving me crazy. What's should I do?

I am afraid that it is very common for the SSRI's as Paxil is. In my experience the SSNRI's are not any better. As a guy for many years I kind of liked the difficulty with orgasm as I could stay up much longer. I think for women it is more frustrating. I have been taking them for 20 years and it has gotten worse for me. ED. Although recently with Fetzima it seems to be better. That at least gives me hope that it is not irreversible. A trade off I have made. Since the ED thing started I have no been in a relationship so not a huge deal. It would be if I were to get in one and I don't know what I will do.
The only modern ones I know that don't have that effect is Wellbutrin and Remeron. Maybe Cymbalta, I am not sure. __________________ The "paradox" is only a conflict between reality and your feeling of what reality "ought to be." -- Richard Feynman Major Depressive Disorder Anxiety Disorder with some paranoid delusions thrown in for fun.

I would do some research on different drugs and side effects. I would get so frustrated. I would gain loss of weight and I would have no sex drive. I would look at myself in the mirror and talk down to myself......
There has to been something else. Its worth a look, right? This is such a common side effects.

I had this problem with Zoloft but did not have an issue with Viibryd or Lexapro.
