Hello NT,
I'm sorry to say that I am 100% unable (so far) to achieve orgasm (after 1 month, from 37.5mg daily to 200mg daily). But it should be reasonable to have hope that (once I reach my most effective dosage and the SE's subside) I'll finally achieve orgasm again. I was on Wellbutrin successfully for MANY years and had no problem with orgasm. Before that I was on Paxil, for over a year, and never had one then. OK, I cheated some and quit taking the Paxil for a few days, and crammed in all the "O's" I could get for a day or two. <sigh> Your mileage may vary.Good luck!
Kimp.s. if you find a solution, post it please!!!!!

> I have seen a few people talking about not being able to have orgasms when on Effexor XR, that is what I am on. I only started on the 13th of this month. When did you notice that you couldn't have them anymore? I am really scared about this. My husband and I have a great sex life and I like that I get an orgasm be fore he does. He makes sure of that. We even have sex 3-4 times a week, except for the week I'm on my monthly. I really like my orgasms, how do I keep them? Please help me with this one. The bedroom has been the only place in my life for the past few years that I feel that I have control over! When we are together, I don't think about anything but us. Making love and being in love. I can control anything there.
