Again, just wanted to share my experience in hopes that it will help someone.
I've been on Effexor XR 75mg for 6 weeks. For the first 5 weeks I had no sex drive, no desire, and certainly no ability to orgasm. I was able to physically have sex, but it was just not enjoyable-not painful or anything, I was just totally indifferent. Then I finally started having some desire after 5-6 weeks, and now I am at least functioning and able to enjoy it again. Its not quite the same as it was, but it's getting there. I am hoping it keeps getting better.
I was seriously considering getting off Effexor because of this side effect, but i didn't want to because otherwise, I have been feeling great and having no other problems.
Hang in there!
