What is ment EXACTLY by abnormal ejaculation in patients using Effexor?


Question:
Okay I am a new first time user of effexor and I was just checkin the side effects of it. And on a few sites it says abnormal ejaculation, I've read many of the comments about the drug and most of you reported a decrease in sex drive. But I am freaking out about the abnormal ejaculation part. Whats gonna happen to me? Oh my god should I just quit taking it?. I dont want my sex drive to go down and I definately dont want to ejaculate like a mutant or something. Please oh please give me some assurance about this. I know ejaculation is a very personal topic but I really need specific details because seriously. i need to know.

Answers:
side effect of the med is decreased sex drive and the abnormal comment is also decreased output. so no mutant but less than average output

You also may have trouble reaching orgasm. But hey, most females wouldn't mind this characteristic in their partner.

Give it a try for a few weeks and see how it goes. Don't stop taking a drug because of possible side effects. Most side effects go away after a few weeks of use. Besides that there are a lot of drugs to treat anxiety and depression so you can keep trying until you find one you like best. I would know, I think i tried like 5 before i found one that worked. then after 9 years it stopped working and the fun started all over again. Now i'm on effexor and i'm quite pleased with it. I'm the queen of side effects and i haven't experienced any with effexor.
On of the symptoms can be ejaculation without an erection.
Impotence,decreased sexual drive,unfortunately are some of the side effects of this med.google it a click on is this med right for me?How bad do you need to take this?Maybe you need to call the doc and ask more about it.Good Luck!
Ok, so, I am not sure I can help much with the ejaculation since I am female.but.

I have been taking Effexor for 2 years and I have had NO decrease in sex drive. Actually, I was on Prozac before Effexor, and found that my sex drive went down. On Effexor, I feel so much better.

Also, if you become nervous about potential side effects of Effexor, be careful about stopping the medication. Effexor has some serious withdrawal symptoms. I recently changed my dose from 150mg to 75mg a day and it took me one month to complete the change..and I still had some symptoms.

I think your best bet is to stick with the drug. I think the benefits will greatly outweigh the side effects. Also, I think that most of the side effects occur mostly at the start of treatment and decrease over time. So, be patient, and good luck!
If you are worried about how Effexor is going to affect you. DON'T EVER TAKE PROZAC! Prozac KILLS all sex drive!

it is either dry run ejaculation,or retro grade ejaculation.

I think you are confusing "ejaculation" with "orgasm." "Ejaculation" is specifically a male function, so being a female you are not going to ejaculate either abnormally or otherwise.
You're blonde, aren't you?
