A member asked:
I have never been able to achieve an orgasm, i was on effexor (venlafaxine) and now am on cymbalta, they are used to treat my fibromyalgia please help me!

If you were unable: To achieve orgasm prior to use of Cymbalta or Effexor (venlafaxine) - than this goes beyond medication side effect. However, sexual experience can be negatively impacted by depression, fatigue and chronic pain. May wish to explore this issue further with your physician.
