I'm considering Celexa. Keep reading about problems other men are having with decreased libido and/or delayed/unattainable orgasm and/or erectile difficulties.
But is it stictly those who have had problems who are writing? Are there any men out there who either:
1) Had NO problems listed above with Celexa, or
2) The problems COMPLETELY subsided wth time, or
3) Found a CONVENIENT augmentation strategy that
COMPLETELY restored (or improved) normal
sexual functioning without adding undesirable side effects?Appreciate all responses.

Conpared to other SSRI's I have found Celexa to better in this matte, BUT only as long as the dosage is kept under 40 mgs. Also, I have found that using Buspar helps negate the sexual side-effects.

I know you asked for those who DON'T have problems with Celexa, but wanted to add a bit to the thread anyway. Celexa completely wiped out my interest in sex. As did Zoloft. As did Paxil, except it made me totally incapable as well. Now I'm taking Prozac. My desire is intact, and I'm quite able. Sex is as good as ever, except I now have longer staying power. No complaints whatsoever.
So what's the point? Well, it's the same thing we hear over and over...each drug behaves quite differently from one person to the next. Even drugs in the same family can have drastically different effects. Comparing how others react to Celexa will not predict how you will react with it. Probably 9 out of 10 people have problems with Prozac. Before trying Prozac,I would have bet a million dollars it would give me problems too. And I would have lost big on a sure bet. JohnL.
