In reply to EFFEXOR AND SEXUAL FUNCTION, posted by kattyk on March 14, 2003, at 16:01:31
I was on Effexor at 375mg for about 4 years. I had a strange drive...up then down...evasive orgasms, you bet. I just this winter decided to go off it in search of soemthing better. I haven't found it yet and am on drug replacement number two (Serzone.) I just started taking it yesterday but so it's way too soon to tell and unfortunatly, as a result of doing all this switching, my depression has come back which totally eradicates whatever is left of your drive anyhow. I'm going to have to go back on the Effexor and just live a less sexed life if I can't find a replacement...I fear I'll need to take ADs for the rest of my life and if that means less sex but more comfort, well, maybe that'll just have to be the way it goes. You might want to try and hang on and see if there is some improvement. Like I said, my drive would come and go and sometimes I could reach orgasm more easily.
