Hey when i started taking effexor i began to have trouble with erection and no orgasm.
Will I ever recover from this to having erections and orgasms again.Is there any thing too
help with this problem please help me thank you.
it definitely affects the libido, but not completely... as for weight loss, i didn't find it to be an unbearable factor. generally, it hasn't caused me much weight loss, it just made me a bit less hungry...
Pledge is on the money with his statistics. As a former user I can tell you that I could also get no orgasm while I was on effexor and I had little to no appetite. I had tons of energy but could not sleep at night. As I said, I am a former user of Effexor, not only for those reasons mentioned but for some other reasons I asked to be taken off the drug. I lost a lot of weight which was not a bad thing but the other side effects were just unbearable. If you should desire to get off effexor which your question leads me to believe you may be considering that , beware, it is a very tough drug to come off of, you must slowly taper off and when I say say slowly I truly mean slowly, just a little at at a time or the side effects are absolutely horrible. Best to you, hope my answer helps you. I am a part of those statistics Pledge mentioned.
Hello angelelyse. Effexor effects up to 17% of people in loss of appeite. A decrease in sex drive effects up to 5.7% of people taking the drug. Regards pledge
