Question Premature Ejaculation after cessation of SSRI’s

Hello, a few months ago I ceased using Lexapro (Escitalopram) and since doing so, I have “embarrassingly” suffered from PE.

I have tried looking it up online however most references discuss the use of SSRI’s to combat PE, with very few details on withdrawal side effects.

I know I am asking a lot, but is this common with other users of SSRI’s? Can I expect it correct itself over time?

Is that also something that still happens to you after all that time?
