    sexual side effects

    This is starting to scare me a bit, I have little desire and have trouble even getting stimulated, my partner worries also. Is this permanent? Will it continue if I stay on this drug? Once I get off the drug will sex drive/performance be able to go back to normal? I am really worried about it now.

    Hi Jonah

    Dont worry the sex drive does return. Try not to think about it. I dont know how long you have been on Citalopram but its quite natural in the beginning to lose your sex drive.

    hope this helps

    All depends on dose, your age etc. I have not noticed much yet. But then again at my age, we have it less often.

    I found Citalopram didn't really reduce my sex drive (although the depression/stress almost certainly did) but made reaching orgasm very, very difficult. In answer to your question, yes, it wears off quickly when you stop taking it (a couple of weeks for me).

    It's still early days for me and my anxiety had made my sex drive disappear anyway so it won't really make any difference to me for now lol
