You can go to www.effexorxr.com. There they have direct information from the company about this medication. You can also go to your Pharmacist for explicit information or he could even go to your Dr. if he is so concerned to learn about all of this with you. Effexor, among many other psychotropic medications cause your sex drive to go down. It could also be the Lamictal too. Your condition alone could be playing a major role and he needs to understand these things and be more willing to accept them. Numerous people have to deal with these side effects but ultimately the pros out weigh the cons. This medication is stabilizing your moods and your sex drive may gradually come back. Perhaps you just need some time. Tell him to please stand by you and support you because that is what you need most of all right now. There are many ways to be intimate without having sex.
