Cybill - Unfortunately the sexual dysfunction with Effexor seldom goes away, even at higher doses. It is just one of those sh*tty things that happen. I here that some of the newer antidepressants that are being developed are trying to address this problem, but I believe the antidepressant effects and sexual dysfunction are too intertwined to separate out (perhaps serotonin-2 receptor blockade). Sorry for the bad news. Sometimes 100mg of Wellbutrin in the morning can bring the libido back. Hang in there. Has anyone heard if any psychotherapy can help with libido? - Cam W.
