|  Paroxetine
for premature ejaculation
There is one
study published on Journal of Urology few years ago
that have experimented with twenty-six men who were
troubled by premature ejaculation were given 20 mg tablets
of paroxetine or dummy tablets. They were told to take
one tablet several hours before intercourse. Those given
the dummy tablet climaxed, on average, half a minute
after entering their partner's vagina. With the real
paroxetine tablet, the average time from vaginal penetration
to ejaculation was 3.4 minutes.
In another
study, taking paroxetine every day for 3 weeks and afterwards
taking it only when needed gave even better results.
The average time from penetration to ejaculation was
6 minutes, but with many side-effects such as nausea,
somnolence, sweating, tremor, asthenia, dizziness, dry
mouth, and insomnia might occurred. Long term study
from the harm of paroxetine has not been released or
published yet.
Caution is
recommended when the drug is administered to patients
with a history of seizures. During clinical trials,
a small percentage of incidence of seizures occurred
in patients treated with paroxetine. However, patients
with a history of convulsive disorders were excluded
from these studies.
