A lot of people scare themselves reading too many posts. In fact, Effexor is very safe as well as very effective.
Try either Effexor or an SSRI. If you do develope sexual side effects, which almost 100% of people do to some degree, you can take Viagra which has proven to be very effective. I think that most failures with these drugs are becasuse people give up on them instead of raising the dosage.
I personally have been on Lexapro for over a year and although I do have sexual side effects, it's not yet to the point where I need Viagra. But if it ever gets that bad, I wouldn't hesitate to take it.
