As a male ever since I quit using any SSRIs (only about 2 weeks now) I have premature ejaculations. I know one side effect to taking SSRIs is that you are not able to orgasm, or at least it takes a long time. Well guess what, now I am the opposite. Will this return to normal after awhile?

This is a common finding for men on quitting SSRIs. Maybe a better one than finding your sexuality has been permanently dampened by the drugs? Given time your nervous system will most likely adapt to having more sensation/increased arousal and things will return to normal. This has been my experience anyway.

It took just a few weeks to return to normal. I'm taking codeine now.
