In reply to Drug Holiday with Effexor, posted by Shyla on April 28, 2004, at 13:37:07
> I have severe libido/sexual dysfunction issues. I spoke with my doc today, and she suggested I take a 1 to 2 day drug holiday before I plan to make love. Now everthing I've read suggestions that you can't do that because of the unpleasant results. Has anyone tried this, and if so, I have two questions: 1. Do you NOT experience unpleasant side effects? 2. Does it increase your libido and sexual performance, i.e., orgazims? I hope some of you out there respond an enthusiastic YES!!!! Thank you.

>Hi Shyla,
I wouldn't do that at all. Much better to add something else as jrbecker suggests. I use Remeron myself, it doesn't help with libido, but it does help me with anorgasmia. Periactin does look like an intriguing option as I think you can take it prn.
Cheers,
Panda.
