I just recently got off of Effexor and got on Wellbutrin because of sexual side effects. No problems at all with Wellbutrin.

Wellbutrin is good but it’s also the most activating so it’s given for depression more than anxiety. It can cause anxiety in some people.

I would always start with a non-SSRI

The good news is the next generation of pills for anxiety and depression. Hit multiple pathways and have fewer side effects. There are two big drugs that have finally been approved and are being released this year. Don’t know the names of the top of my head.

Wellbutrin is probably the best antidepressant medication when it comes to side effects. Shouldn’t affect sexual function.


It can also counter side effects of other antidepressants if taken together.

Nope. Just a lot of gas. In home improvement stores.

What issues are you having exactly?

It’s a pretty well known side effect so getting an ED treatment pill in conjunction with it should be easy to get approved through your insurance.

If not, check out forhims

If it’s finishing, which was my problem, I worked in 15min intervals and eventually got there. I found that pounding on her for 45min wasn’t ideal.

Sounds like you just transferred your depression to your dick.

Was on Lexapro for a while years ago and had zero problems getting it up.

Was wearing the broads, and myself, out though. Would go for hours without blowing.

Definitely no such thing as a quicky on that stuff.

This was my experience with Citalopram/Celexa. Once I stopped taking it, I almost immediately starting cumming like I was a teenager again.

It’s a known side effect. Talk to your doctor.

I agree with Effexor killing the ability to finish. Welbutrin made me meaner than shite though so I couldn't handle that. I'm gonna ask my Dr if there is anything new out there for my anxiety. I take a Buspar once a day as well so maybe just take that and stop Effexor. I had an infected tooth that had previously had a root canal done so I had no idea it was infected. Infection spread all throughout my head and I had to have sinus surgery because of it, and since then have had seizures, anxiety, dizziness, and occasional blurred vision. It freaking sucks.

i had the same problem when i first got on Effexor, but it gradually went away. i was on it for about seven years and got off it earlier this year. no side effects getting off it though, other than the notorious brain zaps for a few days. glad to be off that shite though. i never shoudl have gotten on it.


The exact story I was about to write up about my time on it.

I’ve been on anxiety meds for about 10 years now. I’m still on a low dose, so I can perform. It took about 2 months to get used to it and for my body to adjust a bit. I can keep the wife engaged for a solid 30-45 minutes. There’s no such thing as a quickie for me.

Or just deal with it normally. Why would I take feel good pills with a load of side effects rather than confront my problems? "Have a problem? Here, just take this pill, and that pill." Seems a little asinine to me. Im curious how many of these shooters recently have been on meds and what kind.
