I have to be honest, I think Effexor is one of the worst of the SSRI/SNRI for sexual side effects. I had serious problems with not being able to have an orgasm and sustain an erection on Effexor. I continued to have these problems even after almost a year (but not to the same degree) of stopping Effexor.
I have seen/heard of a lot of people that experience the same on Effexor. I have actually yet to hear of someone who did not have sexual side effects while on Effexor. Sorry to be so honest. But personally I would much rather not have depression and anxiety than have some sexual side effects. Best of luck
