I haven't heard someone talk about an increase in sex drive in an antidepressant since someone mentioned it with selegiline. So I tried it myself and it turned out to be true--increasing sex drive at weird times, though. But I am glad that you have received a good side-effect from Effexor in this group which lately has made effexor out to be from the devil.
> I have been taking effexor xr for the last 6mths the only bad side effect for me is a weight gain of 24lbs!
> The "GREAT" side effect has been a major "INCREASE" in my sex drive!!! I can orgasm just thinking about it and my husband is having a hard time keeping up with me in fact he is the one saying not tonight!
> Has anyone else found this side effect?
> I am in my late forties and have been with my husband since I was 14yrs & he 16yrs so he has seen a lot of sexual changes throughout the years but this one all he can say is "why didn't you get depression in your twenties if this is the side effect!!
