tuffys mom,
you hit my biggest frustration with taking Effexor right on the nail. to save myself, i must take Effexor. however, taking Effexor hurts my marriage. i can't force my body to respond. You are already taking Wellbutrin which I've heard some doc's recommend to counter the lowered sex drive side effect. Also, Effexor may have *pooped* out on you. [Such a clinical (not!) term used here frequently!!] Many folks switched successfully to Lexapro, which is reported to have fewer sexual side effects. talk to your doc.
Good Luck!
