hi there. i've been on celexa for a a month and a half. i've been on various meds and combinations of meds
(prozac, zoloft, serzone, serzone and wellbutrin, wellbutrin, luvox, luvox snd wellbutrin...) and now celexa.
the reason for all the changes is because of one small issue, sex drive and anorgasmia. with this, i think,
is desire, passion, motivation. on celexa, i kinda am numb. i don't have any feelings either way about things. i am just there. i am not sad or happy, i am not excited about things, nor am i terribly depressed
about things either. i feel as i am missing my passion for life. and sex is about the most depressing thing
on celexa, for me, because i feel i am coming to the end of the line on choices here. there is no sex drive,
and no orgasms and no interest at all, now there is just a fear that sex will be totally unenjoyable and unfulfilling. these anti-depressants are like the ethical birth control pill.they don't prevent fertility, they
just make you numb from the waist down. i am just frustrated and i don't know the path to take to get better. reading the threads, as i've been doing for the last two months, gives me hope that these side
effects will subside, but with every ad that i take, going off them and starting new ones and waiting
and hoping, is taking so long...a month here, and two months there, this is ending up being years...
and sometimes the ads don't prevent the depression, so up and down i go...
thanks for listening, i just needed to vent my frustrations...
