> what is the best thing to increase your sex drive when you are on Effexor?
I don't take Effexor. I take Celexa. Ginkgo has helped me a lot with that side effect. Start with 60 mg twice a day (120 total). Then work up to 120 twice a day (240 total). Give it about 3 weeks. It also is good for mental clarity. But it is an anticoagulant so watch out for bleeding problems.
If you are feeling good otherwise, I would try the Ginkgo. But if you are also having problems sleeping, you may want to consider adding Remeron instead of Ginkgo since that can also help with sex. If the Effexor is making you tired a lot, then you may want to add Wellbutrin instead of Ginkgo since Wellbutrin also helps with sex.
