Unwanted Erections and Possible Prostatitis
I am 54 year old male..my sexual desire has been lacking for about one year..mainly do to stress and Paxil I believe. I have had virtually every blood test five months ago..everything ok.

I also was being put on Wellbutrin and being taken down on Paxil...when I got up to 300 of Wellbutrin after 4 weeks at 150 I began to have 3-4 nightly erections where I would get up to urinate and the erections would go away...I only remember rarely waking up with an erection?? I am going down on Wellbutrin because the nightly erections scare me...I am now down to zero Wellbutrin for the last week...still having 2-3 erections nighttime and early morning before getting up. My dr. says not to worry about STD's...etc. I have no symptoms after 30 days, and I be a case study if I got anything from a handjob? Do you concur? And, could this worry or the antidepresents be causing these nightime erections? No other symptoms, and PSA was 2.7 five months ago.

You can further evaluate the possibility of prostatitis with analysis of the prostatic fluid, and possibly a transrectal ultrasound.
Paxil is known to decrease libido and cause soem sexual dysfunction. With the change to Wellbutrin, it is possible that this could have led to a more normal erectile pattern.
You can discuss these options in conjunction with a urology referral
