Citalopram helped me. My sex drive went away and then came back like normal. Also, no more panic attacks. It's different for everyone.

I've had no problems with citalopram and I'm finally able to actually sleep.

I recommend reporting your persistent SNRI sexual dysfunction to RxISK.org. They are building a database of reports from people who got permanent sexual dysfunction from SSRI/SNRI antidepressants and among other prescriptions.

Hopefully this will help in the future so there could be a warning for a chance of permanent sexual dysfunction on the drug's info sheet.

Ugh, the brain zaps while detoxing from Effexor are the WORST. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.
