I know most people say Venlaflaxine decreases your sex drive but after I just increased my dosage I feel my sex drive is higher. Has anyone experienced this?

    It happened once on an increase of Ven years ago and only lasted a short while for me. I definitely need a boost in my sex drive. I'm surprised my husband puts up with me. I wonder if I'll ever get it back?!

      I never really got it back but I am not sure I would put it all down to Ven. Been having lots of problems in my marriage anyway. And even if it is down to Ven - small price to pay: i prefer having an otherwise functional head smile My GAD was really awful. Having said that I never got horny during increases. Only when i am ovulating for a day or two smile

    Cool! I wonder if it will last more than a few days...does this coincide with your ovulation by any chance?
