I went on effexor for 3 months. My maximum dosage was 150mg. When I went on the med it took me me longer to enjaculate, which is common with this antidepressant. My genital sensivity decreased somewhat but not too much. About two weeks after I stopped I found my genital have gone almost numb, but I can still have an erection and eventually ejaculate. I'm a healthy young male and I would like to know if people had experience permanant sexual side effects from anitdperessants. I prefers answers/suggestions from people with medical experience or had taken ssri's.

You really should talk to your Dr. I know you can get sexual side effects but I'm not sure how long they aresupposed to last.

could be you've had a reaction to the medication....but if you only took it for three months, I rather doubt that is the cause...have you seen a urologist?
