Many men misuse Anafranil® (clomipramine) in an attempt to delay ejaculation and improve sexual performance. While it may appear to help, the practice is unsafe and harmful.

Anafranil is a tricyclic antidepressant, prescribed mainly for:

1. Depression

2. Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)

It is not a sexual performance drug.

Why it Delays Ejaculation:

Anafranil alters brain chemicals (serotonin and norepinephrine). This effect can delay ejaculation, but this is a side effect, not a benefit.

Dangers of Misuse

Using Anafranil without medical supervision can lead to:

Erectile dysfunction and reduced libido

Heart rhythm disturbances

Drowsiness, confusion, anxiety, poor concentration

Dry mouth, constipation, weight gain

Drug dependence and withdrawal symptoms

Dangerous interactions with alcohol and other medications

Sexual performance problems should be handled with:

Proper medical assessment

Counseling or behavioral therapy

Approved medications when necessary

Lifestyle modification (stress, sleep, alcohol, exercise)

Delaying ejaculation should never cost your mental or physical health.

Self-medication antidepressants for sex is drug abuse, not treatment.
