A member asked:

Im confused whether i have penile discharge or nocturnal emissions cause they're very frequent.but when im on antidepressants they stop.suggestions?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Side effect: One of the frequent side effects from antidepressants such as Prozac and Paxil, (paroxetine) is that they migh decrease sexual desire, erctile dysfunction and retarded ejaculation . This might be the reason why your nocturnal emissions have stopped. You might need to ask your doctor if there are other issues.
