Hello Dr. Patil:
Thank you for your quick reply. I was told by my primary doctor that I have been on Paxil for 10 years. As for your advise, I did stop taking Paxil for at least 3 weeks now but I noticed no difference. Is it because Paxil is still in my system?
As for your second question, When I masturbate I believe I do get a orgasm because I feel a relaxed and pleasurable, a good feeling of relief. Again, in the end there only little drops of semen. As for ejaculation after having sex with a female. I have not had sex with a female for some time now. So, I can't really give a result for that. I hope you can give me a answer or solution to my problem because this is frustrating.
Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Needs further tests.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for feedback .
Since you are getting satisfaction of orgasm your problem is likely to be what s called as Retrograde ejaculation
In retrograde ejaculation semen enters in to bladder instead of moving forward in to urethra is due to side effect of these drugs .
This can be confirmed by doing microscopic examination of urine immediately (Within few minutes )after masturbation .The presence of sperm in urine will indicate and confirm retrograde ejaculation .
If this turns out to be negative you may need to get further tests like MRI of pelvis done to rule out obstruction of Ejaculatory duct .
Thanks and Regards.

Hello Dr. XXXXXXX
Suppose I decide to stop taking paxil completely. Its been 3 weeks now that i've been off of it. Thinking Paxil is still in my system. When it is gone completely, do you think it would make a difference? Doesn't it take months before Paxil is gone from my system?
Microscopic exam the only way of finding out? I wonder why my urologist didn't suggest that 2 months ago.
Thanks
