> My doctor recently put me on Effexor and I was wondering if any of the men out there could tell me their experiences with this drug and sex. I took Prozac before and that caused a myriad of problems. My doctor said that Effexor was "relatively side-effect free". Can this be true?

I wouldn't be so quick to believe your doctor 100% about the "relatively side effect free" quality of Effexor....that is, unless he just happens to believe that damn near total anorgasmia is "relatively" unimportant. This is what I experienced when participating as a test subject in the investigational trials for
Effexor in '92. I found the sexual side effects to be FAR worse than any of the SSRI meds I've been on. Granted, different patients can experience different results/side effects, but I later found out that other men participating in the study recorded anorgasmia as a problematic side-effect throughout the course
of their participation in the study.
Then there's the withdrawl coming off the stuff......but I'm sure plenty has already been written about that. Good luck
