While all of the antidepressants listed have been used off-label to treat premature ejaculation, Effexor (venlafaxine) is least likely to be prescribed due to a higher risk of side effects compared to other medications. Anafranil (clomipramine) is a tricyclic antidepressant that has been shown to be effective in treating premature ejaculation. Both Zoloft (sertraline) and Prozac (fluoxetine) are selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) that can delay ejaculation.
