I went off of Effexor XR after taking the drug for the better part of the last 8 years or so. I dwindled the dose down from 150 to 75 and then took it everyother day and so forth until I just stopped completely taking the 75 MG capsule. The Mind Zaps have subsided for the most part and it's been close to 3 weeks since I've taken a pill.
QUESTION:
Why am I suddenly experiencing absolutely no orgasmic pleasure during ejaculation. I have no problem getting an erection and no problem climaxing. The problem now is that I'm experiencing absolutely no Orgasm. I am a male 29 years old and even while taking the drug throughout the years I would plan "Drug Holidays" and would be able to experience orgasm as long as I didn't take the pill and waited a day or two to have sex. Now ironically I've stopped taking the medication altogether and I have absolutely no Orgasmic pleasure. It's like Effexor is getting it's hooks in me and haunting me or something........ This must be a discontinuation effect and must have something to do with Brain chemicals readjusting or something along this line. Any information or suggestion would be appreciated.........
Thanks,
Tommy
