In reply to Cymbalta / Effexor XR - Sexual Side Effects?, posted by awatts on December 1, 2004, at 10:12:19
On Effexor, I could kinda sorta function sexually, and could even {ahem} ENJOY it most of the time with cyproheptidine on board.
Cymbalta had an initial period when I thought that the anorgasmia was complete, but that was early days while it wasn't addressing my depression. Now I can -- you know, ENJOY it -- pretty much when I am ready to. (Yeah, OK, I'm being a little silly. I can climax, at the point I'm ready to climax.)
Now, I'm also taking Wellbutrin, which might be why the anorgasmia has passed, but whatever it is, I'm not having trouble now. Cymbalta is probably worth a try for you, if you need to be medicated, and if it does cause trouble for you remember that cyproheptidine can help with it.
