Options: If this is enhancing your sex life - then just enjoy. However if you or your partner are becoming fatigued or sore, then ask your physician about decreasing your dose or a trial of a different medication. Take care.

Typical side effect: Many antidepressant drugs have this side effect, esp ssris like Prozac and paxil (paroxetine). In fact ssris are sometimes prescribed to men with premature ejaculation. Discuss other possible alternatives with your prescribing physician.

Focus: ...On pleasuring your partner, and you might not consider it such a bad thing. If desperate to improve your time...Can try a "warming" lubricant to help with your stimulation, which might expedite ejaculation.
