Abstract:
Spontaneous ejaculation after micturition is a rare side
effect of antidepressants. Serotonin noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs) and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are reported to cause
spontaneous ejaculation. Venlafaxine is a SNRI, paroxetine is a SSRI. Nausea, constipation, appetite and sleep changes are some side effects associated with
the use of venlafaxine and paroxetine. We report the case of a man who had spontaneous ejaculations after using venlafaxine. Spontaneous ejaculations
continued after the switching to paroxetine. The side effect ceased after discontinuation of paroxetine and did not appear with sertraline. This unusual
side effect should be questioned in patients who receive venlafaxine and paroxetine, as it may cause embarrassment and noncompliance.
