> As a woman, I know that, especially int he first 3 months of Effexor use, it took me quite a bit longer to reach orgasm. I've not been on it 4 months (longest on any med!! Woo hoo!) and my sex drive is picking up nicely again, and the time it takes me to orgasm isn't too bad now - longer than med free, but not a silly length of time. Also, it seems to have made my orgasms much more intense!!!

I've experienced the same side effect w/ both effexor and prozac...the inability to ejaculate...getting horhy and achieving erection were fine...but the frustration of going weeks w/out orgasm was quite frustrating..but as the ohter poster said...these are the side effects for this person...all results will vary...w/in 2 days of discontinuing the effexor...sexual release is back...but so are my symptoms...
