Paco....thanx for the reply,
Just recently started this drug so I'm trying to give it a chance. Have been on Wellbutrin in the past and didn't care for it. Haven't talked to my Dr. yet but will if this situation doesn't change. I've always been a tough cookie to crack (ya know what I mean) and didn't need this kind of help. It's not fun for me and she walks funny. Hey...at least I still have a sense of humor! TY
> I've heard other people on this site say that they have had this effect and some have said that it went away after 4-6 weeks. My psych says that taking Wellbutrin (with the Effexor) often helps relieve this. I've had this effect myself, but it's not that there's no ejaculation, it just takes a LOT longer to get there. Who knows - I might end up becoming quite popular.

I'm taking the EXR and just wondered if anyone else has had this side effect....it's kinda personal but hey..I don't know any of you. Tried taking mine before bedtime last night....not the thing to do I guess as I was up most of the night. But can't function if I take it during the day. My question: Have any of you guys (I guess it would apply to the gals too) had any sexual side effects on EXR? It's not that I don't desire (function)....but there's no bang. Both my wife and I are frustrated (well...actually she's pretty happy). Does this effect go away as you up the dosage, as a mutually active sex life is important to us and she's kinda feeling inadequate (but pleased...I'm not), with me on this med. Thanx
