Abstract

Background: Painful ejaculation associated with tricyclic antidepressants is rarely reported in the medical literature. Method: Painful ejaculation following the administration of imipramine and clomipramine is described in four patients. Results: The phenomenon occurred in all patients during the first 3 weeks of treatment and disappeared within several days when the tricyclic dosage was reduced or the medication was withdrawn. Conclusion: Painful ejaculation was apparently evoked by tricyclic antidepressant administration. Clinicians should be aware of this underreported side effect.
