retrograde ejaculation / diabetes

if I try sudafed to solve the problem, is it something I take a few hours before sex or is it something that must be taken daily?  Am I mistaken that phenylpropanolamine was taken off the market? If so, what is the most common med given for this problem.  Finally, I find that semen slowly oozes out a couple of minutes after ejaculating.  Is this also consistent with retrograde ejaculation?  Thank you.

A regular dose of Sudafed is normally needed to help retrograde ejaculation.  Sudafed is pseudoephedrine and has not been taken off the market.  

The fact that some semen comes out suggests not a total retrograde ejaculation.  A urine sample may be needed to confirm the diagnosis.

I should have also told you I take  Depakote which may or may not contribute to my retrograde ejaculation issue
