Ejaculation conundrum caused by Lexapro 10mg anti-depression medication which blocked ejaculation. My doctor changed it to Lexapro 5mg to wean me off of the medication and proscribed Wellbutrin 150mg twice daily.
Results:
1. No ejaculations in four weeks, resulting in severe mental and physical frustration, combined with frequent testicle pain.
2. Continued ED therapy with VED that requires two compression rings to maintain erection due to
history of major penis venous leakage.
3. Bought a dildo vibrator to stimulate the penis, which did nothing for ejaculation response.
Do you have any suggestions to resume my ejaculations?
Thanks,
Allen

You'll probably resume your ejaculation abilities after you fully come off the Lexapro. I can't remember the exact brand names, but I do know for a fact that I had difficulty with ejaculation when I was on anti-depressants. The treatments didn't seem to be helping with the depression, and I noticed the sexual side effects immediately and that just compounded the problem with more negativity.
Is the Wellbutrin supposed to be different with no negative effect on ejaculation? I thought maybe I had trouble with it as well.

Totally normal side effect of lexapro. Some doctors prescribe it for premature ejaculators.

This is a very common SSRI side effect. Takes some weeks (few months) to ejaculation back to normal (delayed based on dosing).
