In reply to SUPPORT needed - uh, Celexa and ..., posted by Janelle on November 4, 2003, at 17:40:20
I was on Celexa for about a year and experienced fairly severe sexual SE and being a male...
I tried Paxil and had a better time but still had very little desire...I could go weeks without and I am 38 and my wife was not overjoyed by my lack of enthusiasm.
Now I am on Prozac and the sexual SE seem to be almost non-existent.
It seems from regularly reading these posts that there are no absolutes with regards to what SSRI will cause which SE. Some people suffer terribly with Prozac and change to Paxil and the sexual SEs go away to a greater extent.
So don't despair, talk to your psychodoc about trying different SSRI's
In addition, although it did not work for me, adding Wellbutrin can lessen the sexual SEs for some.
