Anyone on Venlafaxine here? I started taking it 2 weeks ago and my libido suddenly dropped from pretty low to complete zero, it doesn't even feel like anything when I try to masturbate, it's kinda frustrating. I'm wondering if it's because of the meds or something else and would love to know some input from someone who knows their shit.
I was on Venlafaxine for about two and a half years, but had to discontinue it after I had a seizure while I was on it; what happened was, I was on the max dose of it and Wellbutrin, and I went off both of them for a week, before continuing them suddenly and at the full dose. This was a poor idea.
Anyway, keep on it for another week and the side-effects on your libido might go away; if it doesn't, talk to your psychiatrist about a med change if you find it really upsetting, or just deal with it if you can.

Ah, thanks, I think someone else from /adv/ told me to take it slow when I wanted to go off of it or it'd be not pleasant. That's really terrible what happened, I hope you're OK now. I'll make sure to remember it well.
I can deal with it since I don't get any kind of sexual urges so it's just whatever, I was just wondering if it's the meds or something unrelated, thanks a lot for answering me.
