I'm scared of that since I take Wellbutrin (good for sex, better erection and libido) and from time to time some Cialis (like Viagra for with an effect which may last 36 hours) ... that said with all 3 my sex life is way better! ... many years of SSRIs (Paxil especially) leaved me partially impotent, my orgasm sucks bigtime and my genitals are anesthesied partially... anyway.. I pray that this Priapism thing never happen! :P

Yes, I will say it happened in a light way for me when I was much younger, but I am susceptible sometimes to odd side effects. Um.... lets say I creatively put it away by standing on my head. No, literally :)But no it isn't a laughing matter -- its rather rare but it is always listed there. Sorry for riling you up if I did, I shouldn't make people have medical student syndrome.
-- best wishes
