Effexor and Orgasms: Anyone Else?

I noticed that the timing of taking the drug has an impact! Try to take the drug as much time as possible prior to the act (when you wake up in the morning and have sex in the late evening). If it doesn't help talk to your doctor about lowering the dose or switching to another drug.

I'll try the gingko Bilbao. I personally don't want to switch meds because I've gone through so many, but effexor actual helps. I'll talk with my doctor Friday and see what she suggest as well

Unfortunately, this is one of the common long-term side effects of drugs like Effexor. I suggest consulting a psychiatrist on alternative medications if it bothers you. Good luck and keep us posted!

I had this issue on lexapro. Maybe it’s a symptom for antidepressants in general? I read that taking ginkgo biloba supplements help with sexual issues caused by these meds.
