Thanks for the info. I have not had decreased sexual effects yet. I am hoping that I don't. I already take .5 x 3 of Klonopin. I can stand some anxiety in order to be 'shagadelic'. Yeah Baby!
If the side-effects return I'll lower my dose. Eventually I want to get some Lexapro when it comes out since it is Celexa with some engineering to get rid of the side-effects.
I hope your wrong about the side effects. I like feeling horny again. I can also make it work on Paxil, but it is much more enjoyable when you want to screw your wife.
