Premature Ejaculation and Antidepressants

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this but, I have had problems with PE basically my entire adult life. Yes, I am the very definition of a minute man. However, two nights ago while having sex with the wife I felt I could go on forever without c******. After about 10-15 minutes my wife asked if I could finish up b/c she was getting sore. I actually had to focus all my attention on having an orgasm and even then it took me a while. I thought this might be just a one time thing but while masturbating last night in the shower it got to the point that my arm was getting tired b/c I was going so long.

I am thinking the reason for this is b/c I started taking Cymbalta about 3 months ago for depression. I knew that this was a possible side effect but I did not realize it would appear that suddenly or have such an effect. Has anyone else had this come about so suddenly from using Cymbalta (or any other antidepressant?) Is this only temporary or does it last as long as I take the medication (b/c I'm really enjoying it?)

Yep happens to me too. I am taking ad's as well with it takes me a long time to orgasm which is ok in some cases during sex but sometimes it gets frustrating as my gf gets sore and sometimes I just have to stop. It is very frustrating and it hasn't gone away I guess this will just keep happening till I stop my medication.

Does the PE come back after stopping the ADs?

 

I like the extended sex sessions but I don't want it to get any worse. Also is it strange that it happened so suddenly. I expected a more gradual process.

 

It won't get worse, but it may get slightly better. Other than that, it will last throughout the time you're on ADs. Unfortunately, most of the evidence suggests you'll go back to PE afterwards, though there are other possible remedies for that when the time comes (no pun indended!). It's usual for it to happen as soon as you start on the ADs (as do most other common side effects, such as fatigue).

What does this mean? You were drinking so much you couldnt have an orgasm? Wow thats a lot!!! You should stop doing that right now.

 

uhm, this is actually common amongst guys. but it's not like whenever i drink some beer this happens. it's very rare i can't finish. it's usually when i've been completed smashed. i haven't been like that in at least a year.

I think the medical term is "whiskey d!ck"
