Been in denial but potentially the 40mg of Celexa I'm on is part in parcel to the downhill sex life I've been having with my BF of 4 years. Hard to get excited, loss of interest during, far fewer orgasms.

Is this reason enough to consider tapering off? Sex is a big deal to me. Really didn't want this side effect to ring true to me and prior to being on Celexa was pretty down, crying every day.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
