Pristiq and Libido

Posted by BearFan on September 17, 2008, at 23:56:15

I've heard from reports on the board that Pristiq had less sexual side effects than other anti-depressants, yet I've been taking it a little over a week and feel like my libido is completely shut down. Does this get better in time or is it just a side effect expected with the parent compound venlafaxine?

Ya, I took Pristiq a while ago and it didn't allow me to reach full orgasm. I didn't really have any motivation to flirt with girls and I never thought about sex that much at all. After a while the sexual dysfuction got better, but libido was still sorta low.

Which medicine are you taking right now that doesn't have this side effect?
