>Yes, I agree. If I had only taken celexa for a few months rather than two years, I think I would have been OK.
Unfortunately, short-term treatment with SSRIs is not an option for everyone. SSRIs are virtually the only consistently effective drugs for OCD. I'll probably need to take an SSRI for decades. As much as sexual dysfunction is unpleasant, it's trivial compared with severe OCD - if you knew what it was like to suffer 12 hours of obsessions/compulsions per day you'd know what I mean.
