Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Sexual side effects are common with Effexor. Use the lowest effective dose of Effexor that control your symptoms. You may also try switching to Bupropion which has lesser sexual side effects. Another option is to take viagra.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
