In particular, reports of depression, euphoria, and psychosis while on dapoxetine 60 mg occurred in nine (0·5%), three (0·2%), and one (0·1%) of the 1774 patients enrolled in the open-label phase, respectively; they also occurred at rates similar to those seen in the dapoxetine 60 mg treatment group of the phase III studies (table). Although studies of longer dapoxetine exposure have not been done, a recently completed randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled safety study (as yet unpublished) showed no signs of discontinuation symptoms or psychiatric effects during 2 months of continuous daily dosing of dapoxetine, followed by abrupt discontinuation of treatment. Although there are no data to rule out the possibility of emergence of new adverse effects beyond 1 year, the short half-life of dapoxetine predicts little drug accumulation with repeated daily dosing,1 and would suggest that dapoxetine is associated with a low risk of increased adverse events or the emergence of psychiatric disorders such as those mentioned above. General Dapoxetine is only indicated in men with premature ejaculation.

Contraindications of Dapoxetine

In response to Salokangas's second question, the effects of an SSRI in a man who becomes depressed subsequent to years of dapoxetine use are unknown. Antidepressant response is dependent on numerous factors, including the secondary properties of SSRIs that might contribute to differences in the efficacy and tolerability between members of this antidepressant class.2 However, it is important to note that men with psychiatric disorders were excluded from the dapoxetine clinical trials. Individuals who become depressed would be considered contraindicated for treatment with dapoxetine. I declare that I have no conflict of interest.
