DOSE:
150 mg oral Pharms - Venlafaxine (daily)
BODY WEIGHT: 170 lb
Was prescribe Venlafaxine (Effexor) for major depression and anxiety. At the time, it really helped my symptoms. I was able to talk to people more freely and my general mood was very upbeat.

But I noticed my libido was practically nonexistent. Then I had a run in with a lady friend, and it was very difficult to get an erection. Once I got one, it was very difficult to maintain as well as reach climax. The next time after that, I couldn't get an erection at all. Quit taking the drug, despite my doctor's disapproval.
