Hey Veeky Forums,

Ever since I started an SSRI (Prozac) for mental health, I haven't been able to ejaculate during sex. Is there any way to counter act this? I always end up finishing myself off

>taking ssri's when sex is available to you

Nice meme depression.

Just get off the pill.

i've dealing with this. ur best bet is planning out when u take ur SSRI, i take mine first thing in the morning so i can cum if i have sex late at night, and also the morning after (before i take my next dose) best of luck bud, just gotta semi-plan out ur banging

Stop being depressed. Stop medicating.

SSRI's can permanently fuck up your cock if you take them for long enough.

Find personal fulfillment in life.
Expose yourself to new activities, people, and situations. Do things besides work and lift.
Make sure your diet is clean and your gut biome is healthy.
Meditate.......

If you're up for it eat a bunch of magic mushrooms

That's a common side effect of SSRIs. You could talk to your doctor about adjusting the dosage, or consider a different medication.

Take a look at this:

and also consider Wellbutrin/Bupropion, which is a fairly new antidepressant with different side effects.

thats not how depression works man. I work out 5 days a week, have great resources through friends family etc, and have a good diet and nothing could help besides SSRI's. And this wasn't just a mental thing where i was aware of taking them and my depression / anxiety melted away, this was a slow progression of everything else staying constant and my attacks lessoning over time

I took venlafaxine for 3 years, it was only in the first few weeks that I couldn't ejaculate but after that everything went back to normal

>SSRIs
Throw that shit down the toilet and learn to handle your own goddamned problems like an adult, or are you just some faggot little crybaby manchild?

Edgy. Guess you guys studied to be doctors for 10 years?

OP here, started taking them after my step mother and dad died in a bad car crash. I turned to alcohol for a few months then realized I needed a more permanent thing

I started taking Prozac 5 months ago. I've talked with my doc recently about coming off because of this issue. Is permanent damage imminent?

SSRIs are not 'permanent' they damage your brain.

You want 'permanent'? Learn to handle the shit life deals you. Pills are for pussies. Proper adults learn to deal with shit. Throw the pills away and go get cognitive therapy and learn to change the way you think.

This. Telling someone with severe anxiety and depression who has been prescribed SSRIs to stop taking them is like telling a type 2 diabetic to stop taking insulin.

Yes through diet, fitness, therapy, social interaction, meditation etc symptoms can be improved and medication reduced. But that's not going to help someone who's body simply doesn't produce the right chemicals enough straight away.

>I needed a more permanent thing

How are drugs a permanent solution in dealing with problems? You want to use that shit until you die what the fuck?

t. People who've never actually had to deal with anything challenging in life (probably white)

I was on on goddamned prozac for THREE YEARS and when I finally had to crash off it, after LOSING MY JOB because the shit fucked me up SO BAD that I wasn't even a GODDAMNED HUMAN BEING ANYMORE, it took me more than FIVE YEARS to even START feeling normal again, so SHOVE IT UP YOUR ASS YOU LITTLE PANZY PUNKASS TEENAGE FUCKSTAIN, you know NOTHING about ANYTHING and need to SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Take the whole goddamned motherfucking bottle, you stupid FUCK, and melt your brain why don't you?

PANZY-ASS LITTLE NUMALE FUCCBOI TWINKS AND THEIR PILLS
WHY DON'T YOU JUST GET YOUR GAY LOVER TO FUCK YOU HARDER IN THE ASS
>WAAAH MY DADDY DIED
WAS HE YOUR LOVER OR SOMETHING, FAGGOT?

CRY HARDER, PUSSY.

this guy gets it but your picture... its sometimes good to plan ahead or prepare for things that could go wrong.

get off the meds, they cause more problems then they solve. all evidence supporting pharmaceuticals is funded by, you guessed it, pharmaceuticals. eat healthy and treat your body like a temple.

OP here again. You're all faggots, I'm not going to listen to your hollistic hippie advice, I just want to know how to cum during sex

(cognitive dissonance intensifies)

No I'm OP

Stop jacking off so much. Your body is trained, right now, to be stimulated by phantoms on a screen. No pharamones, no touch, nothing, just pictures and sound. You need to quit fapping so much (or entirely) and retrain your mind.

No fap it, also talk to your doctor/psychiatrist and see what they can do. Generally SSRIs as a whole are known to kill your sex drive.

No I'm OP

I'm Dirty Dan

I guess this is good thread to ask opposite question. What if i cum too quickly? When I fap I can last a bit, but when I'm with my gf I cum in minute or two.

You're having sex and you're still depressed? The fuck outta here

Afaik not being able to cum is pretty common side effect for anti depressants, like user said timing yr sex helps. But what might be more helpful is quitting porn, good foreplay, and just plain getting out of your own head and focusing on having a nice time instead of finishing.
You also might just have to accept that sex is different for you now. It's harder for me to finish, but I have a better time in general bc I'm with somebody I love and I'm not thinking about killing myself the whole time. It's a trade-off, OP.
