PE my whole life - Paroxetine 20mg 2 years-now
Hi everyone,
A quick thank you to this community, your stories helped me find Paroxetine about two years ago, and it's been a REAL game changer for dealing with PE.
My Current Routine (Based in Sweden):
- Daily Dose: 20mg Paroxetine.
- As-Needed: 50mg Sildenafil (only used for planned evenings, not for spontaneous morning sex etc.).
- The Results: It works wonders for delaying ejaculation. Sometimes it gives me full control, though occasionally it makes it tough to maintain an erection or ejaculate at all.
- Side Effects: Mild drowsiness and a slightly lower libido.
The Goal: I have a new partner, a fantastic sex life, and we are very active. I want to try lowering my dose to 10mg or tapering off completely to see if the PE returns immediately, or if the new dynamic helps.
The Problem: My doctor gave me a very basic, unsatisfactory plan: just drop to 10mg, then go to 0mg. Because Paroxetine is famously difficult to discontinue, I want to be much more careful.
Has anyone here successfully tapered off or lowered their dose? What did your timeline look like? I'd appreciate any insights or personal experiences you can share.
Cheers,
