Be very careful detoxing yourself off most anti-depressants (Not sure about Effexor) because most (Xanax, Paxil, Klonopin, Qualudes, Valium, Diazepam, chlorozopam, flourozopam, etc) are from the drug family Benzodiazipine.

Anywho, Benzos have this neat way of building up in your body and if on them long enough then going cold turkey can KILL YOU. There are only 2 drugs that are dangerous enough to kill in a cold turkey detoxing situation, Benzos and alcohol (heroin and cocaine usually make you just wish for death).

Benzos by far are the worst as they take weeks sometimes months (depending on length taking them) to detox off of and as mentioned cold turkey can kill you very fast or slowly.... never detox without a Dr. knowing.

Back to topic, my wife.... well ex wife had/has the same problems, and the loss of sex drive did affect and effectively destroyed our marriage. To me what was the purpose of being married if my wife didn't want to have sex or when we would act as if she had no desire and just laid there. Before the drugs she was wild and very good in bed pleasing and wanting to be pleased.

I do love the new Wellbutrin ads that say probably 20 times in their commercials "no or very low sexual side effects". I do know my Dr. suggested Wellbutrin as a smoking cessation drug.... it must be a wonder drug.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
