Dear Sanjeev,
No medicine is safe for all the persons taking it. We have to weigh the benefit vs safety.
Having said that, the diazepam is not very safe in the long run. It is NOT an antidepressant tablet. It is prescribed to reduce your anxiety and make your muscles to relax. Whereas fluoxetine is better if it has beneficial effects on you. Please discuss with your doctor.

Dear Mr. lybrate-user, delayed ejaculation is often a side effect of ssri or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors like fluoxetine (flunil) and sertraline (zosert). Change of medications will solve his problem. Do not stop the medications suddenly, it requires tapering down gradually and gradual changeover to other group. Consult psychiatrist for this process.
