Okay I am a new first time user of effexor and I was just checkin the side effects of it. And on a few sites it says abnormal ejaculation, I've read many of the comments about the drug and most of you reported a decrease in sex drive. But I am freaking out about the abnormal ejaculation part. Whats gonna happen to me? Oh my god should I just quit taking it?... I dont want my sex drive to go down and I definately dont want to ejaculate like a mutant or something. Please oh please give me some assurance about this. I know ejaculation is a very personal topic but I really need specific details because seriously... i need to know.

Okay to make my question more specific I am a female and am able to ejaculate multiple times during intercourse. A trait I very much enjoy and would like to keep. And what is ment by dry run ejaculation or retrograde ejaculation?

side effect of the med is decreased sex drive and the abnormal comment is also decreased output. so no mutant but less than average output

Ok, so, I am not sure I can help much with the ejaculation since I am female...but...
I have been taking Effexor for 2 years and I have had NO decrease in sex drive. Actually, I was on Prozac before Effexor, and found that my sex drive went down. On Effexor, I feel so much better.
Also, if you become nervous about potential side effects of Effexor, be careful about stopping the medication. Effexor has some serious withdrawal symptoms. I recently changed my dose from 150mg to 75mg a day and it took me one month to complete the change....and I still had some symptoms.
I think your best bet is to stick with the drug. I think the benefits will greatly outweigh the side effects. Also, I think that most of the side effects occur mostly at the start of treatment and decrease over time. So, be patient, and good luck!

Abnormal Ejaculation

You also may have trouble reaching orgasm. But hey, most females wouldn't mind this characteristic in their partner.
Give it a try for a few weeks and see how it goes. Don't stop taking a drug because of possible side effects. Most side effects go away after a few weeks of use. Besides that there are a lot of drugs to treat anxiety and depression so you can keep trying until you find one you like best. I would know, I think i tried like 5 before i found one that worked. then after 9 years it stopped working and the fun started all over again. Now i'm on effexor and i'm quite pleased with it. I'm the queen of side effects and i haven't experienced any with effexor.

Shane, when talking psychotropics abnormal ejaculation simply means that it takes longer. So here is the deal. If U R having sex with a partner have all the fun you want BUT do not expect to finish. If you want to finish then abstain as long as you need to by trail and error you will find the right amount of time for you. Sex enhancing drugs (like Viagra) do not work however they can keep ya going until ya drop and at that point ya feel like ya had release (I don't advise this) rather I advise working towards fixing your deeper problem so you do not need the drug (s) that are interfearing with your sex life.

On the packet they have to list everything and anything that could go wrong so you cant sue them, such is the way of the world these days. I have been on Effexor for a couple of years now am fighting fit, losing weight and have an awesome sex life. Relax let it do its work and enjoy your sex life.
