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!).

Sad Panda summed it up nicely. Its typical and all too common. For me its a deal killer. I haven't found any way to ameliorate this side effect, though some people have had success with adding other medications. There are some ADs that don't usually produce anorgasmia, notably Wellbutrin anad moclobemide (available in Canada and Europe).
