Misleading “tailored” PE treatment and poor aftercare
In my experience, Men’s Health Clinic sold PE treatment to me as a “tailored formulation”, but what I was actually prescribed was paroxetine (an SSRI) together with black maca and P5P. People should understand that SSRIs like paroxetine are generally used to manage PE symptoms while you are taking them — they are not a permanent fix. Once you come off them, the underlying issue can return, so this is important context for anyone considering paying significant amounts for this type of treatment. I was kept on escalating doses for a prolonged period, eventually reaching a very high dose, and I do not believe the risks and side effects were properly monitored or explained. Over time I experienced significant issues including raised blood pressure, headaches, weight gain, sleep disruption, withdrawal symptoms, and sexual side effects including difficulty climaxing and problems maintaining an erection. I have since needed GP treatment, cardiology investigations and have made a formal complaint. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this clinic. If anyone is considering treatment and wants to understand my experience in more detail, feel free to get in touch and I would be happy to discuss it. My reply to MHC response to my feedback: I stand by my review and my experience as a patient. My concerns relate to prolonged high-dose paroxetine prescribing, inadequate monitoring, significant side effects, withdrawal issues, and the broader impact on my health. I have now raised this matter formally with the Care Quality Commission. Unfortunately, I did not appreciate before treatment that your business had not yet been inspected by CQC. I will not be debating the full detail publicly, but I am happy to discuss my experience privately with anyone considering treatment.
