A member asked:

Will the sexual side effects of paxil (paroxetine) die down soon?

Dr. John Moranville answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Maybe: Sexual side effects are relatively common. If you just started it is possible, but usually these side effects are persistent. One option is to use another antidepressant. Viagra or similar medications may be used, especially if Paxil (paroxetine) is effective and other antidepressants have failed.
