I am new to this site and thank all of you for the effexor posts, theyre great. I began taking effexor 2 weeks ago and I am not sure sure about the results just yet. My doctor started me at 37.5 for the first week then 75 on the second week then 150mg from the third on until I go back to see her. I think I feel a little better, I know for sure I feel like getting up everyday and have more energy to work. I have some side effects that do not really bother me just yet- mild nausea, slight dizziness occasionally, and hyperactivity. I have only noticed one side effect that really concerns me now and thats the fact that I cannot have an orgasm. I have a wonderful, supportive fiance that went through hell to get me to go to a doctor about my depression and now I dont want for our sex life to be in danger of creating more problems. What I need to know is did I just trade one bad for another or will this side effect eventually get better? Is there anything else the doctor can give me to help with this side effect? Thank you all for your help.
