Recently, I just have been having weird moods with sex. I just got an anti-depressant, called Effexor XR and I was told it wasn't suppose to do anything to it, but that's my only explanation I could come up with. I would be in the mood, have it rock hard and long, then after 5 minutes of sex i'd just start getting limp, and be bored, and it still feels great and i'm still very attracted to my girlfriend. Is stress and fighting the relationship a possibility to this? We have been fighting quite a bit then are ok, but none the less, we have, could that be maybe? Or does someone think it could be more the pills I just got on?

Sex drive/size

Yeah see I thought so too, wasn't really sure since she said I wasn't suppose to have any sexual side effects. I mean I know very well stress in a relationship can be a problem as well, but it's just gotten bad, so I was ultimately asking yeah, if some thought it was the pill.

18, 19 in 2 weeks, so not all that old, still at my peak I guess you could say. Yeah i'll go to the doctor though, because it's not in my nature.

Effexor certainly can have sexual side-effects - your doctor seems to have got that wrong. It's not an SSRI - it inhibits re-uptake of both serotonin and norepinephrine, but the effect is similar. There are antidepressants that don't have the sexual side-effects, but Effexor isn't one of them.
