I agree with Utopizen and some of the other guys here. Effexor generally sucks for anxiety. It's a decent antidepressant, i'll give it that much.
Don't know about the sexual side effects cause I don't have a gf, but I think the main difficulty is attaining orgasm. That can be a bonus for your gf cause you'll last a hell of a lot longer. But if you can't orgasm at all, then it's definitely not worth it.
Klonopin works great for anxiety. I take 2mg a day and it's magical. I've even forgotten what it's like to suffer from a lot of anxiety. Only trouble with Klonopin is that it works so well you might not have the good anxiety, like the anxiety that tells you that you need to do important stuff. I literally stopped studying a whole month at University, a very very bad thing. I think I just have to learn how to motivate myself differently. In any event, anxiety is a bad motivator. It means you're a slave to your anxiety. It would be better to be motivated by a desire for success.
I'm going on Nardil for social anxiety. I've heard mixed reviews, but I'm hoping for the best. It'll be a month before I'm on it. I'll keep you posted.
