Hi - just posting that I used to be on Effexor and went off when I found out I was pregnant. Got thru two weeks of the brain zaps pretty well.
I did go back on Effexor after feeling postpartum but really didn't want to stay on this as orgasms were just not happening. My doctor put me on Celexa but it didn't help - after a year. I asked him if it would make a difference taking it before bed rather than the morning. I tried and WHOA - what a difference!
Just thought I'd share that for some of those folks who I see had the same issue. Having a two and three year old doesn't do much for the libido but it's wonderful even still to FINALLY 'achieve' very easily after months and months of NOTHING.

Hi daisy467
I'm stating Effexor next week (after trying a host of medications for anxiety in the past).
Did you take the Effexor or Celexa before bedtime to avoid the 'loss of libido'??

Hi. It had never occurred to me to change the time until recently. I did more so to have an orgasm. Not too much of a change in libido, but WOW a difference in achieving!
I never did change Effexor - just did this while on Celexa. I suppose that could work too. Don't know if it matters if it's 'regular' or the XR.
