I have been on Celexa for a couple years. I take 40mg. After adding Ginkgo Biloba last year, most of the sexual side effects went away.
I take the amount recommended by some doctors for people on SSRI's which is 120 mg twice a day (240 total).
Recent tests show that many brands of Ginkgo do not have the listed ingredients so you must pick a reputable brand. I use a generic Giant Pharmacy brand but it works pretty good.
If you have or develop bleeding problems you may not be able to take Ginkgo since it can act as an anticoagulant.
