Re: Citalopram post-discontinuation sex drive effects?
I was on Citalopram previously and the suex drive side effects lessened after I came off them, as far as i am aware they cause no permanent disruption to libido or sexual function.
Ive been taking them again for just over 4 weeks now and did experience a reduction in libido for the first three weeks, but I've been like a rabbit for the past week or so if you get my drift :P so I think tolerance to the effects of the bromide is a possibility.
They do continue to make it longer to reach a climax though.
the sad thing is, if you had been taking them you'd have been through the worst of any side effects by now...
the most likely side effects you would get are some reduction in libido and difficulty sleeping for roughly ten days then it would reduce and you'd msot likely be fine. If you aren't going to take them however it is best to discuss another option with the doctor.
I've not heard of anyone else having this one but I did find that mirtazipine make me shoot as soon as the guns loaded if you catch me drift, between the sexual side effects of mirtazipine and citalopram I know which I(and my girlfreind :P) prefer.
\Hope this helps
Dan
