Paxil is a prescription **antidepressant (SSRI)** known as **paroxetine**.

Doctors sometimes prescribe it **off-label** to help men who experience **premature ejaculation (PE)**, aiming to **delay climax**.

Paxil works by **increasing serotonin in the brain**, which can help some men last longer by **reducing sensitivity and delaying orgasm**.

Some studies have shown that men taking Paxil may last **up to 6 times longer** during intercourse. However, these results vary, and you **must take Paxil daily**, not just before sex.

Using Paxil for PE may sound promising, but it comes with **significant risks**, including:

-   **Nausea and dizziness**
    
-   **Decreased libido**
    
-   **Erectile dysfunction**
    
-   **Weight gain**
    
-   **Sleep problems**
