I know there are a lot of potential causes for premature ejaculation, as written in the article posted, but one that I don't see much about is on the acquired premature ejaculation front, specifically post SSRI.

SSRIs are typically used for treatment of major depressive disorder and anxiety disorders; however, they can be prescribed for premature ejaculation. As most guys who have been on an SSRI can tell you, they can delay ejaculation for hours at a time (sometimes to the point of not being able to ejaculate). This may sound good but it can become a problem all its on. A potential issue with these drugs can come from discontinued use in the form of acquired premature ejaculation. Think of it as an overcompensation to ejaculate while on the SSRI resulting in an increase in sensitivity and/or other stimulation needed to reach the PONR (this is not looking at any chemical changes to receptors or neurotransmitters). When use of an SSRI is discontinued, this overcompensation is not needed but can still be there (physically, mentally, or chemically) potentially causing acquired premature ejaculation.

My question for you guys: has anyone experienced acquired premature ejaculation from discontinuing SSRIs (or other drugs)?

The best to take is Wellbutrin. I have taken every possible SSRI and every one gave either libido or ejaculation issues. Wellbutrin causes none of this. It also has other benefits like weight loss and it also helps people quit smoking. I am on the best cocktail of medication I have even had and I have no issues or side effects.

Here is what I take:

Welburtin as an antidepressant
Serequel as an antipsychotic and sleep med
Lamictal as a mood stabilizer
Klonopin to help slow me down

These have literally saved my life. I was in hell with every other combination and I was hospitalized every year (for 14 years) I have been on this cocktail for 2 years and I have not been to the hospital in 2 years. Look into this as for me it has renewed my life!

Its great that you found a drug combo that's working great for you. It can take years for people to find the right medications to help them, as you are a living testament to this fact.

Personally, during some of my darker days (mentally and emotionally) I felt like the walking dead with some of the meds I was on. I was able to get off of them for the most part, not without any post drug side effects though. Tapering off can only help so much with some of these. Glad to say that I have almost reached my first year med free and slowly recovering everyday.

Good for you! No one here or in the entire world wants me to go off my meds :) Without these meds I am out of commission 6 months out off the year! I would never, ever think of stopping. I missed a few days and I started to feel like the old me and it sucked! It was great to experience this as it has kept my resolve strong with medication and counseling.
 
I would say as a general rule of thumb, a lot of health rpbolems can be improved possibly even cured by diet alone and a few supplements
 
Here are some possible factors that can contribute to premature ejaculation:

  1. Psychological factors: Stress, anxiety, performance anxiety, relationship issues, or depression can all play a role in premature ejaculation. These factors can affect your sexual performance and contribute to a shorter duration of intercourse.
  2. Physiological factors: Certain physiological conditions may contribute to premature ejaculation. High blood pressure, as you mentioned, could potentially be a contributing factor. Other conditions such as hormonal imbalances, prostate problems, thyroid issues, or abnormal levels of neurotransmitters in the brain may also play a role.
  3. Sexual habits and conditioning: Rapid or infrequent sexual activity, as well as specific masturbation techniques, can inadvertently condition your body to ejaculate quickly. If you regularly rush through sexual experiences, your body may become accustomed to reaching climax quickly.
  4. Inexperience: Lack of sexual experience or inadequate knowledge about your own sexual responses may contribute to premature ejaculation. With time and practice, you may be able to improve your control.
  5. Genetics: Some evidence suggests that genetics may play a role in premature ejaculation. If it runs in your family, you may have a higher likelihood of experiencing it.

This is a pretty strange claim.
How do you even know if it runs in the family?
