I’ll try keep this short :)

Was taking Effexor daily for 2.5years but I had been wanting to quit for ages, tried tapering but failed. Eventually just said fuck it & went full cold turkey. Brutal withdrawal side effects lasted 2-3weeks but now I’m back to ’normal’. Never really understood stimfapping or how anyone can get effectively hard on stims but now I realised that was 100% a side effect from the Effexor or at least heavily influenced by it.

All side effects have ended by now but BY FAR the MOST noticeable change has been my libido is back & the typical ED symptoms have disappeared completely. I am not exaggerating when I say it feels like my libido has returned in the form of a deprived starving rabid animal it’s fucking insane & that’s when sober so now on stims you get the idea lmao.

It will eventually balance itself out but just having gone from literally zero libido to a lvl 1000 libido has been wild & that’s an understatement.
