I take Celexa also. I have not tried the drug holiday route but it might work because Celexa has a relatively short half-life. It's a lot shorter than Prozac's half-life. Also, a popular tactic used by doctors is to add Wellbutrin to counter the sexual side effects.
Effexor also causes sexual dysfunction with a lot of people. The only AD's that don't are Serzone, Wellbutrin, and possibly Remeron.
Finally, if you get to the point where you feel OK sexually, and the only problem is your boyfriend's perception, maybe you can throw in some extra added sound effects during sex.
> Hello,

> I am experiencing sexual disfunction. This time I'm taking celexa which was supposed to solve this problem. Its really distressing. I don't feel as completely asexual as I did on Zoloft, but my boyfriend claims I don't give off any sexual vibes like I do when I'm off medication. I have only a vague interest in sex and am inorgasmic. This is really troubling! How is efexxor or serzone working for people? Do drug holidays work with celexa?
