I've been on Celexa 10mg. for about 2-3 weeks now and the usual sexual problems that I've had from past experimentation with SSRI's are at it again (loss of drive, ejaculatory disturbance, even impotence). I feel better on this stuff but can't see living with these side effects. I'm being treated for major depression and pretty bad anxiety.
Any experience with what to suggest to my pdoc to override these problems? I'm not willing to go the way of Viagra or similar - not spontaneous enough way to live for me.
My doc sais to try Luvox or Remeron next if the Celexa side effects don't go away...do those have a lower incidence of sexual side effects anyone?
I'm not destined to take SSRI's I guess even though they give me the much needed energy that I lack. The Trycyclics didn't work for me either - or the mood stabilizers (Neurontin, Depakote, etc.)
Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated...I see my pdoc on Friday of this week and want to be forarmed and I hope that this supportive community will offer me some practical advice.
Many Thanks
Alan
