> I took celexa for anxiety. I first noticed it at about the six month mark, but it was very mild. At about one year, it was more noticable, and at two years it became intolerable. That's when I quit. One year later, and my sex drive's still low. I can get an erection, but orgasms are duller than they were pre-celexa. I'd appreciate any suggestions - I'm very depressed about it.Hi Vornan,
Since you mention that you are depressed, I wonder if that might itself be part of the reason for your troubles? Depression itself is a well-known libido-killer. Maybe you would benefit from a non-drug treatment for the depression (like cognitive-behavioral therapy or even exercise), or from one of the antidepressants that don't tend to cause sexual dysfunction. Unfortunately, other than Wellbutrin, I'm not sure which ones those are, but I'm sure somebody on the board knows. Anybody?
Best regards,
Lars
