Bissie - I have had no problems with sexual dysfunction at any dose (up to 450mg, currently 225mg) of Effexor XR™ (venlafaxine). Maybe, I had a little problem finishing during upward titration of the dose, but I was so depressed that sex wasn't foremost on my mind. (no comments Greg!)
It took me almost 3 months to get to the 225mg/day dose of Effexor. Your doc is titrating your dose fairly quickly. This could affect your libido &/or dull your trigger. I would not worry about the anorgasmia until you have been taking a stable dose of Effexor for about a month. This will give your body a chance to adjust to the drug properly.
Good luck - Cam
