I tried Cipramil, Effexor and Zoloft and all of them caused me to have retarded ejaculation. It probably only worked once a week if that :-/

I ended up stopping those and got put onto something called Aurorix (Manerix in the US I think). I must say there are no sexual side effects with this one - even after being on it for 6 years. It did wonders for my anxiety as well.

You might want to discuss other options with your doctor? RIMA's and Tricyclics don't have the same side effects as SSRI and SSNRI anti depressants.
