> Hi there,
> I have now been on Effexor XR 75mg once a day for over 2 weeks. The first 3 days, I got the shakes, headaches, sickness, dizzy etc. I am also having delayed ejaculation. Funny (not really) thing is though, my depressed state had me being very promiscuous and I considered myself a stud anyway (or so I was told)
> Now, as I am sure others have found, I can carry on even longer! Seriously though, I don't know if this is a good thing or not? I am now less impatient and seem to be enjoying life, even though, we all have various, stresses and anxieties?

I've been on effexor for almost a week now, and was having problems getting it on with my gf, i just wasn't interested, AND then I went out and got a big ass lamb kebab for dinner from this turkish resturant and about half an hour later I was totally turned on for some reason, dunno why but it worked cool. lol
