I am a 23 year old female who just began taking Effexor 1 month ago and am worried if these side effects are for real or if I am just thinking they are real. I was treated 7 months ago for borderline anorexia and of course my number one fear is weight gain. I read that some people lose weight while others gain weight. What do I believe? I am nervous about continuing taking it, but I do feel much better. My husband is finally able to tolerate me in that I am not violently flying off the handle and creating problems that do not even exist.Taking 75 mg per day for General Anxiety Disorder and mild depression has been extremely beneficial.
BUT,I am unable to orgasm during sex and this is not good in that I have only been married 1 year. I am still a newlywed for God's sake!
I read that Wellbutrin often cancels out this type of side effect, but I do not want to be a drug addict. Addictive behaviors are prevalent in my family.
Can anyone offer any help with these two predicaments?
Thank you.
