Lamdage:
Well, if Effexor decreases your sexual pleasure, I don't know if Brintellix will be much better. I'm on Day 10 and the sexual side effects are quite strong--decrease in sexual desire, decrease sexual pleasure, and anorgasmia. (Interestingly, a few days ago, I was musing on how similar Brintellix and Effexor were in this department for me, though Effexor did not decrease my desire as much as Brintellix has, even at Day 10.) In the Brintellix insert, it says about one-third of men taking Brintellix had these side effects. On the positive side, Brintellix is decreasing my anxiety and depression (and paranoid worrying) quite moderately. The price for Brintellix in the States is ridiculous though ($250 a month w/insurance, $150/month with Takeda's wonderful "discount card.") I think Brintellix is worth a try, though. The effects of this drug have been much stronger for me than those of Viibryd, which I also tried a year and a half ago (or whenever) it came out, with absolutely zero results. It sounds like other posters on the board (Lousiana Sportsman comes to mind) are taking Brintellix with few if any sexual side effects.
