Doctor say maybe clomipramine causing the delay ejeculation as i heard it seems to be used for premature ejaculation.
So meanwhile I'll slowly reduce the lexotan and wait for clomipramine to be remove from my system.

Clomipramine is a TCA (Tricyclic antidepressant) and it's being replaced with an SSRI ie Setraline so I'm not sure if it is going to help at all with sexual dysfunction but everyone is different so only time will tell.
Fully agree that you should move towards treating your condition via cognitive therapy and away from drugs. The sooner you can do this the better. The key ingredient in therapy is the therapist so seek out the best person(s) available.
