Answer 1

I don't know any thing about the scientific part of Prozac, but was on it for about a year I believe. Yes, Prozac, as a side affect of the medication, helped me to loose about 15 pounds at first. But I didn't do any thing like diet, cut down on my eating sweets, or any thing, so when my system got used to the medication I quit loosing, and then it was just like any antidepressant. However, I went off it because I started having problems with Prozac; he then put me on Zoloft,and that didn't do any thing for weight, but was good for the depression. But now I am on Wellbutrin, and it is known for weight loss, as a side affect. It is used quite successfully for people that want to quit smoking. I've lost 20 pounds now, but not sure if it is the Wellbutrin or not.

In the company literature (the paper with the microscopic print that comes with each bottle, unless the pharmacist throws it away), there will be a table of different reactions to Prozac compared to a placebo (sugar pill). Before you decide if you want to take it or not ask a pharmacist for that info or search it on the web. Best shrink I ever had said any person can have any reaction to any drug at any given time, it's all very individual. Lilly Co. who makes Prozac was originally trying to make a weight loss drug and found there is a greater market for it as an antidepressant. It's an excellent drug, but very powerful, get your psycho meds from a qualified psychiatrist not your 'family' doctor who generally knows nothing about psychotherapuetic drugs. I took Prozac for years and found that I tended to gain weight on it, although that is not the usual response, it's more common for people to lose weight. There are much more advanced, much gentler drugs these days for depression. If you want specifically a weight loss drug, there are new ones on the market. By all means, don't try to self diagnose and don't take any medication that isn't prescribed for you. Good luck.

There are many natural ways to cure premature ejaculation. A proven natural method can be found on this site http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=565

Recent polls have shown that the average length of intercourse is usually anywhere between 2 to 12 minutes. Most often those diagnosed with premature ejaculation climax in less than a minute or two, and there are even those who ejaculate before there is any sort of penetration. In all actuality, ?too short? is really just a matter of opinion. The most important factor is if a man feels that he is unable to control his ejaculation and is frequently climaxing before he would like. Any man who feels that this is a problem for him may be suffering from some form of premature ejaculation.

Answer 8

Ejaculation can be considered premature when it occurs 30 seconds to 4 minutes into sex, depending on different cultures, countries and experts. Behavioural techniques can help you delay orgasm. Learn here https://tr.im/6G73M
These include the start-and-stop method and the squeeze technique. A combination of these techniques along with sexual counselling and medication (either using an anaesthetic cream or an oral tablet) is recommended.
