In reply to Sex life and Effexor...Help!!, posted by Hoss on September 6, 2002, at 1:21:22
Hoss,
I have tried most every SSRI or related anti-depressant including Effexor, and experienced precisely the symptoms you describe (lack of sensation, working forever for an orgasm I could barely feel, etc.). I finally simply gave up on those medications entirely, opting for a low-dose TCA (Sinequan) instead, which has worked for me in the past. My sex life returned to normal within a few weeks of quitting the SSRI routine, and has remained so, to my great relief. Now if I could only make my wife younger and cuter..... ;-)
