Hello Everyone,
Would like to know from the men who are on Effexor..have any of you had a problem reaching orgasm? I am currently taking 150 mg a day...migrated from taking 40 MG of Celexa which ceased to work in treating my depression and have been on this dose for about 2 months.
What really stinks about this is the fact that I have always had great stamina when it comes to maintaining errections and delaying climax. My wife has always bragged about this but now it seems like I can't reach climax without a very focused effort. It has put a serious cramp on our sex life...it's almost like I have "lost" the sensitivty in my penis although I am aroused and still as crazy about my wife as I was when I first met her ( we've been married for seven years).
Originally, I was on 75 mg of Effexor XR and felt fine. My doc had said that the 150mg would eventually needed..in addition to the libidio issue, I have also experienced some dizzy spells..I am happy with the med overall but think I'm on too high of a dose. I think two months is plenty of time to allow side effects to subside..overall it's been three months since my migration.My wife is a trooper but the "marathon's" it's been taking her to bring me to climax is taking it's toll on the both of us. Any serious feedback would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Hosf
