> I take Effexor and have this problem as well. It pretty common with any antidepressant that increases seritonin levels. The only remedy that I know of is to take a "drug holiday"- that is, don't take the medication for a day or two... but even this is far from perfect.
Hey, at least Effexor allows holidays. After I stopped using Nardil, the 100% lack of orgasm ability lasted for 3 1/2 weeks! Forget "holiday", I was beginning to wonder if I had been sentenced to permanent incarceration (sexually speaking) in Phenelzine Penitentiary!
Perhaps, in addition to dosage, the condition being treated (and thus brai chemistry) affects the amount of time until orgasm ability returns. I was using Nardil strictly for Social Phobia
