When the SSRI companies report the low incidence of sexual side effects they are not being honest. Their stats are based on 6 week studies. Soem people don't have bad sexual side effects by 6 weeks but develop them later. Many more people do have sexual side effects by 6 weeks but are embarassed about reporting it to the investigator who is conducting the 6 week study.
The actual percent of people who get some degree of sexual side effects from SSRI's is probably around 70% to 90%. The percent who get severe sexual side effects is lower and it also depends on the dosage and on the SSRI. Celexa probably has the least severe sexual side effects of the SSRI's from what I have read.
