As a male, having been treated for 4 weeks on Effexor XR, I have absolutely no problem climaxing. It's almost a relief after being on Paxil for 3 months while being practically impedident (sp?). I still have a very lively libido on Effexor XR.For women, I don't know how many women out there can testify to this, but I've heard that Paxil (for anxiety disorders at least) has less side effects on your sex life. A friend of mine that has been taking it for years swears to this. However, her partner was also rendered basically impedident on Effexor XR.
*Shrugs* I think everybody's a little bit different when going on any anti-depressant. If it's a huge deal try switching the ADs up a little bit.
