Pud not working properly

[Greenman50]

Now that I think of it, the "success rate" may be less than normal for me the male. But think of it this way, your lady may get something out of it, if you can put in a partial performance.

Good luck.

Cheers mate , oh yea i,m still going to dip my bread in when i can , half a one is better than nowt in my house ..lol..

It's one of the key reasons why people (men and women) stop taking SSRIs - the sexual side effects. Apparently citalopram is not quite as bad as the others - not that I found it much better. Gingko Biloba is meant to help (didn't find that worked either). If you can get over the embarrassment, maybe try to speak to your GP in case there are any new things to try. I ask my male GP about it hehe.

The Ancient Egyptians used Ginko Biloba .But it wasnt dried rubbish you get nowadays .Its not advisable to take with Citalopram .There is a better alternative called Ashwaganda .But I don know if you can take this with cit or not .SNRIs are supposedly less likely to cause this side effect ,but I expect some still will have this problem on them .In low doses Cit is perscribed for Errectile Dysfunction because of its relaxing properties ..Sue

I wouldn't ask for medical advice on the net.
How do you know who is replying and why they are.
Ask to see a male doctor.

Well said! The majority of Doctors have not taken the medicine they prescribe and can only go by "textbook" symptoms. I find others shared experiences very helpful.
