ssri (paxil) is the cause

yep, defintely the Paxil, an SSRI.
I was on Zoloft (another SSRI = selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) and the symptoms were exactly the same.
I've recently changed to Efexor XR (venlafaxine), which is a SNRI (serotonin-noradrenaline reuptake inhibitor) and it's solved the problem. I actually suggested the drug to the doctor because after looking at the pharmeceutical data for all the anti-depressants, found the sexual side-effects w/ Efexor to be at the lowest of incidence (~7% of men experience sexual-related side-effects, vs ~18% w/ Zoloft, Paxil and Prozac)
Maybe you should consider trying it. I only had side-effects for the first 10 days (nausea, lack of appetite, lethargy) but Periactin and caffeine/ephedrine helped with that.

How often are you having sex and also how often are you masterbating? It may be a big reason So just answer it. We all do.

I agree with DRRMAN. my woman is EXCELLANT at oral sex but last couple of times I could not get off. they start feeling like your
losing attraction for them. I just came off a primo/winny cycle and
had test levels checked and everything fine. STILL taking 50mg proviron ed. WTF?

Several things,

Anything that messes with your Seratonin levels will mess up sexual performance to various degrees. Too little OR too much will screw up sex drive, ability to climax, etc.

And you are on a whole soup of stuff which will effect seratonin.

Sure some guys can get away with it, but what happens is all this sneaks up on you and .... now you are doing .....Paxil, which is an SSRI which increase available seratonin, and ECA where the Eph will decrease seratonin, and chances are with that gear you are on and the way most guys train, you are also overtraining, which WILL mess with your sexual performance.

Drop the ECA/Clen.

Paxil? Jeez- chances are, for many BBers, if they just stop overtraining and stop taking Eph, their seratonin levels will normalize and they wont ned Paxil.

And dont think "well, Paxil rasises seratonin, and Eph drops it .. so .. like .. uh . hm .. doesnt it like sorta kinda balance out?" It does not work that way necessarily.

Trust me, I know guys who were doing like 500mgs/week of Test and either could not get it up, and some who could not climax. The main reasons? Ephedrine (and yes, Nor-Eph edrine has some of the same pronlems) and overtraining.

on a ph cycle a while back i fucked my friend for about 45 miutes until she got sore. then we went in the shower where she beat me off till i came. i had every muscle in my legs and ass straining so i could cum. women dont usually like long sex, especially when they start to dry!

Yes.

But watch, 5-HTP can also cause too MUCH seratonin.

The best way to try 5-HTP, is to get "Enteric Coated" caps. Then try taking 100 mgs like 30 minutes before bedtime. This dose is a good start.

If you notice that you are TOO tired the next day, then back off . try 50 mgs.

This will help a LOT of guys.

And another thing ....

Low carb diets make it MORE difficult for seratonin to get into (or be used by, can't remember which, would have to dig through references) your brain. So, guys that might be doing ECA (Eph being the problem) maybetraing hard (overtraining) and doing low-carb dieting (which make it more difficult for seratonin to be made or used ........ these all add up to more problems.


***********

Look, some guys have no problems with any of this stuff.

But some guys may be fine, .. normally . they are not depressed, they function well sexually, but maybe there seratonin levels are low, maybe ther system is not able to cope with "not-normal" external situaions, and when these are present, seratonin drops.

These gusy are normally . fine.. But add some Eph, and some of the other factors mentioned above . and BAM ........ low seratonin.

Plus, I am more and more and more convinced that many many guys overtrain.

***********

With respect to Exctasy, I cant remember if that effects Dopamine or Seratonin, but yeah ... that could be an issue as well.
