In reply to Effexor and male ejaculatory difficulties, posted by Melanie on September 15, 1999, at 12:53:09
> My husband has been taking Effexor for several months with great success (much less anxiety and depression. However, he is now having trouble ejaculating, where that was never a problem before. I know that is a side effect of the medication, but has anybody else experienced this, and was anything helpful? Did it require coming off the meds completely? And if so, what did you try next? Thanks for the help.
Well, it sounds like the desire is there, so why not try Viagra? To get it covered by your insurance (otherwise, its about $10 a pill!), you will probably need prior approval with his pdoc talking to your prescription plan people to let them know this is a necessary medication to counteract the side-effects of another med. It takes about 45-60 minutes to kick in. From what you described, it sounds like that should take care of matters.
Then again, some other folks out there might have different takes on Viagra....
Cheers,
Bob
