In reply to Celexa and Pindolol for sexual problems, posted by Teri on November 5, 2001, at 12:07:32
> Hi. I've been on Celexa (30mg) for a couple of months. It's helped my depression and along with Klonopin, my anxiety. The sexual dysfunction has been a problem and my doctor prescribed pindolol to offset the sex problem. Has anyone had success with this? He said that SSRI's target the s2 receptor where sexual response is located and that Pindolol blocks that effect without changing what the Celexa does for depression and anxiety. Has anyone had any luck with this combo for sexual problems while on SSRI's?

> I've been really shaky the last week or so also and not sure if the Pindolol is causing that or if the Klonopin and occassional Xanax aren't working as well anymore. He gave me Klonopin to help me sleep and help with my anxiety.

> Thanks! Teri
Hi TeriI guess the pindolol makes you shaky, because it potentiates the SSRI. If sexual
probs doesnt fade away you should change the AD. SSRI are often very nasty concerning sexual probs, but everyone reacts in another way. I didnt have sexual probs with Celexa but it didnt worked enough, so I changed to Paxil. Paxil worked better against depression but caused sexual problems. So I have too try something other again. Good luck.
