I take Effexor 225 mg XR in the morning along with Lithium 900 mg/day and Neurontin 900 mg/day. I developed lack of libido: erectile dysfunction and delayed orgasm when it sometimes comes to a erection. I added Trazodone (Desyrel) up to 200 mg at night without any success (to much sedation). With Nefazodone I am too sedated during the day (at 200 mg per night). Remeron is knocking me out. Bethanechol didnt worked at 20 mg. I dont want to switch to another AD because i tried so much ADs and no one worked as well as Effexor. What about adding acting on dopamine like Bupropion or Methylphenidate ? Do you have ideas , suggestions or experiences with this problems ? I do not think it comes from depression alone - the drugs are involved too - like many pdocs are calling this problems.
