I upped by Wellbutrin XL to 300mg. I'm staying on the 75mg of Effexor. Hopefully, the extra Wellbutrin will counter the anorgasim - let's hope. Also - I found an old stash (not too old) of Klonopin. I'm taking about .25 mg of that in the morning to take the edge off the Wellbutrin and I feel great. My current doctor will not let me have Klonopin like my old doctor did, even though I took it for 2 years and never upped my dose. I did not find it addictive.
I'm going to a new doctor so that I can continue this plan of action. I wish there where something else beside Effexor without the sexual side effects!

It's a more balanced SNRI, and might work well for you. At first, I had a problem with anorgasmia, but that went away after a month or so.
Oh, yeah, and when I was experiencing anorgasmia, I had so little interest -- due to depression -- that I only tried in order to find out if I did have anorgasmia. Could have been a combination of depression and lack of interest, rather than the medication itself. %^P
