In reply to Effexor and no sex drive is it temporary?, posted by gldngodess on July 31, 2001, at 20:19:38
> I am taking 300mg Of Effexor. I am a woman. I want my sex drive back.
> What can I take to counteract that side effect?
> Ever since I have been on it, it seems I am not as sensitive in my clitoral area and sex almost seems like it is too much trouble sometime. It is not that I am too tired either, its difficult to explain.
> What can I take with the Effexor to make me want my husband like I used to.
> I feel indifferent about sex now. I tried having some wine and alcohol does nothing to me. It use to alittle bit.
> What do women take to help them? Please help if you know.Hello there, I am a living testimony (lol) that wellbutrin restored my sexual function. I too, was extremely disappointed that I could not have an orgasm at all when I was on the effexor.(even if you beat me down there with a hammer I would not have felt it--can ya relate??) He had temporarily taken me off of wellbutrin. Well, I just could not handle this side effect. My dh was driving me bananas. So he added the wellbutrin back and whammo---I was my old self again. I told this to my aunt. She is on an old tri-cyclic and therefore cannot take wellbutrin. So her doc gave her viagra--yes---viagra. But can you believe her insurance would not cover it? Bless her heart, it would have been 300 bucks. Know what she did? She got 2 LOL!!! And she said it was the best sex ever! HAHAHA Best of luck to you,
Anna, tired but still sexual mom to 3 wonderful kids under age 4-1/2
