Abstract
Recent
evidence suggests that the sexual dysfunction that often appears during
treatment with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or
selective serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs)
persists in some patients after stopping the treatment. A clinical case
is presented that suggests a high probability having a causal
relationship to the withdrawal of paroxetine according to the criteria
suggested by Ben-Sheetrit et al. In the article ‘Post-SSRI sexual
dysfunction’: a young male with no concurrent physical illness, with no
drug treatments or use of toxic substances (except for very moderate and
occasional consumption of alcohol), and free of affective symptoms at
the present moment that could better explain the presence of sexual
dysfunction. Twelve weeks after withdrawal of paroxetine, there was a
persistent decrease in libido and moderate difficulties in maintaining
erection. The increasing interest in the evaluation of sexual
dysfunction secondary to antidepressants, and the commitment on the
sexual sphere of our patients, facilitates the identification of cases.
