An SSRI: See prior answer on this topic. Zoloft, generic is sertraline, is an example of one in this group.

SSRI antidepressants: As others have answered several times now, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (ssri's) such as zoloft (sertraline) and prozac, may help. If the person is not "depressed", a lower dose of the medication may serve the desired purpose.

SSRI: Ssris are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor medication and have shown to be effective at low doses for preventing premature ejaculation. A topical anesthetic like orajel can also be applied.

Some antidepressants: Once diagnosis has been confirmed by md (may involve consult with a psychologist and a urologist), i would first try the squeeze technique and some other behavioral techniques. Medication wise, some antidepressants have a side effect of delaying ejaculation and i've seen them prescribed for just this side effect. Consult with your family doctor or psychiatrist.

Meds & psychotherapy: Some antidepressants are sometimes used (such as clomipramine and dapoxetine) because one of their side effects is inhibited orgasm, which helps delay ejaculation. Tramadol, a pain medication, can also delay ejaculation. . Talk with your doctor to see what's best for you. Also consider psychotherapy from a psychologist experienced with CBT. Get help soon, treatment works well for this!
