In reply to Is this a typical sexual side effect?, posted by undercat on September 27, 2004, at 9:49:25
> I'm a 34 year-old male currently taking 80 mg of Celexa and 2250 mg of Depakote each day. I also take Synthroid and Mavik (high blood pressure).

> My problem is not with getting or staying erect. It's that I can't climax most of the time. I know that these drugs can have sexual side effects, but I'm not sure if that means erection problems, lack of libido, or my problem. Is the inability to climax typical, and what are some treatment options? I've recently become sexually active after a long celibacy, so I'd really like to get this straightened out (SOON!).

> Thanks in advance for your help!
>It's called anorgasmia & it's a typical side effect of Celexa & other SSRI's that affects men & women. You could try talking a reduced doseage or skip a dose of Celexa before sex, or you could add another drug to fix the problem.
Cheers,
Paul.
