... and if they were, Anorgasmia would be throwing a wet blanket on our Effexor whenever a sexy situation arose. At least that's been my experience after five days on Effexor -- feeling much less anxious but feeling much less below the waist.I don't consider an orgasm just an indulgence but something essential for prostate health (see results of a recent study at http://menshealth.about.com/cs/prostatehealth/a/ejaculate_ptate.htm), not a neglible thing in a family with a history of prostate cancer. ** Can this side-effect fade as a couple of others I experienced in the first days (chills, ringing in ears) have? **
Tomorrow night I'm going to try taking a higher dose of Bethanechol before sex, as I've read about here. I'm taking 10 mg three times a day for urinary retention, something I'm very prone to with anti-depressants.
I'll be bummed if Effexor doesn't work out. I take 150mg Lamictal to keep me at a steady state (not ruminating) but have been needing something to treat anxiety and boost energy. I don't know what else to try.
