Need *major* helpPlease Effexor Sexual Dysfunction

Posted by jay on September 13, 2002, at 13:05:36


Well, I am on my about 5 year Effexor use 'anniversary', and yes it is a good antidepressant. But, it has ruined my sex drive, and my ability to perform. A review of the literature indicates that Welbutrin and Trazadone are both failures in the area of reducing SRI/SNRI induced sexual dysfunction. The literature seems to only indicate Viagra as the *consistent* method for both sexual function, and what men experience as nocturnal erections. (Which I have also greatly lacked since starting antidepressants.) My only real problem with Viagra is cost..as I don't have insurance.

So, I am willing to try Ginkgo, YET again. I stopped it last due to major anxiety increase. But, this time I will just have to stick with it. The studies (from Medline) seem to show a fairly good rate of success with regular use.

If anybody has any comments on *what works* for them, PLEASE, give us some information. I (and any others out there with the problem) would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
Jay
