Hi everyone,
I've been on effexor xr 75 mg for a few weeks and it has been the biggest miracle for me. It has taken away my depressive symptoms completely for the first time in 15 years since I've been dealing with depression. My libido has increased on 75 mg. My doctor recommended I raise the dose to 150 mg. Today was the first day I started that dose and experienced sexual dysfunction side effects. Does anybody know if that goes away when my body gets used to the new dose? I'm hoping it's an initial side effect that will go away soon. I was on prozac years ago and the sexual side effects were so extreme to the point that there was absolutely no feeling whatsoever, literally! I'm hoping that's not going to happen with Effexor. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks to all of you who are contributing to this site.
