In reply to Paxil vs. Celexa, posted by Nyree on January 5, 2000, at 14:58:08
I shudder at the thought of switching from a med that is working well. Celexa is similar yet different from paxil. It might not work as well and might come with other side effects equally troublesome. I think you would do well to try treating the side effects before considering a switch.
You could start with herbal. Ginkgo in doses of 120mg to 240mg a day for six weeks has been shown to improve all phases of sex, including desire, when taking antidepressants. The addition of wellbutrin, buspar or ritalin are also given for AD sexual side effects.
