Buspar hasn't done a great deal for my anxiety - although it would be unfair to say that it hasn't helped at all. Trouble is, here in the Britain, the maximum dose 45mg. A lot of people don't seem to respond until they reach 60mg+.
As far as sexual side effects go, Effexor is one of the worst for it. It certainly does decrease libido (as well as causing some weight gain).
However, I do believe the Buspar has reduced Effexor's unwanted sexual side effects a little with me.
Have you also considered Ginseng? That has a positive effect on libido but be careful as it can be stimulating and exacerbate anxiety.
