> i have started effexor xr and have experienced low libido and inability to reach orgasm. I took 37.5mg for 2 weeks and 75mg for half a week. I feel great but these sexual side effects are worrying me. When and if will they go away, and what can I do to help it in the meantime?
I wish I could give you some good news, but I can't. I have found that over time the side affects lessen, but still remain. Because I am a man, I take Viagra to help, but it cost a lot of money. There is other ADs, but non is as good as Effexor at releaving my depression. So as people live with cronic pain, I live with cronic sexual disfunction. However, I could go back to being clinically depressed and have an organism once in a while, but that would mean I would loose my life as I know it, and I cannot let that happen.
