i appreciate those comments, esp about not feeling picky. my psych doc does not seem to be too into polypharmacy and instead seems to want to stick with the standard meds: ssri or wellbutrin alone.
i found celexa to have the exact same sexual side effects as all of the other SSRIs. it is like an off-on switch for me.
