i, too, had anorgasmia when on celexa, but i do had a desire. but, i only was 2 months on it including gradual tapering off it and never was on more then 20mg.

> For me (a female....although I too sometimes think I'm merely an amoeba!) Celexa first caused anorgasmia. A complete and total lack of sensitivity, numb!! (Is that clear enough to everyone???).
> After a while of that, I began to lose interest in sex. No libido. Then came the sense of "doing my marital duty". I think that part (the low sex drive) for myself was basically a PSYCHOLOGICAL response to long term anorgasmia. I'm not sure that it's a neuro-chemical type response.
