Effexor 150mg and libido effect

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys. Since being on Effexor my sex drive went down quite abit over time. Reading around and it seems to be common Im currently on 150 a day for a year. Prior too that was 75 a day for a year or so. Where i am now is my doc is weening me off effexor and moving to another tablet called Welbutrin xl (or something) My question. Since i have been on Effexor for abt 2-3 years, can i get back my libido to a reasonable level? Or is it "damaged" for good? Doc has said Wellbutrin should not affect as Effexor did Thanks - hope to hear back

It should definitely come back. Have you successfully weaned off? Remember, things don't always happen overnight. I took Effexor 150 mg for about three years followed by 225 mg for another three years. Weaning off was a six month process. I'd suggest exercising if you aren't already.

Mine came back. Pretty quick. Also had no symptoms  of withdrawal . Was only on for a year at 75-150.
