I had the delayed orgasm or Paxil, Celexa, Effexor, and Effexor with Wellbutrin, and eventual anorgazmia just with the Effexor, and Effexor with Wellbutrin. It just got worse and worse over the seven months on ADs. I heard that Wellbutrin by itself is ok. On further research, and from experience, I know that they can all cause sexual side effects. It is because of the seretonin 5HT2 receptor site in the brain in turned on more. That causes loss of libido and increased body temperature, and some other effects. Some are more effected than others and dosing makes a difference. The effects continue for a while after stopping too. I've been off of all ADs for 5 weeks now and have orgasms and erections ok, but the orgasms are not so intense as they used to be. They used to knock me out for a few seconds (you know like the French word for orgasm "petite mort") but no more. The effects may happen on either sex.
