Hi Bonnie
Sorry to hear the Viagra didn't help, though I was going to suggest that you start at 25mg not 50, as 'woozy' side effects can be quite bad, especially the first time you try it. So if you've any left, a gentler dose might be worth a try.
Though I am male, I think the principles are pretty much the same. When I was having orgasm problems with Paxil (similar to celexa in this respect), I found that the viagra would allow me to reach orgasm eventually, but it could take a very long time. I also had to reduce the Paxil dose to less than half the recommended, or stop it for a couple of days, or I could still not reach orgasm even with the viagra.
I tried loads of other things too (wellbutrin, gingko, remeron) but they had no effect for me in this problem. Never tried buspar though.
I know they say that the side effects of SSRIs should wear off after a few weeks, I found that this one never did unfortunately. I don't use SSRis at the moment, but one day I may well use them to control the opposite problem, premature ejaculation...
