In reply to celexa/complete frustration, or lack of..., posted by dina on May 6, 1999, at 10:28:14
>Oh Dina...I'm so sorry...I really feel for you
and I know exactly how you feel.
Sometimes I feel like taking ad's has made me less
passionate as well. It takes the raw edge off the
pain, but for me, it also seems to take the raw
edge off the joy. The trade off has been a sense
of peacefulness. I miss the passionate feelings
though.
I really hope
the celexa works for you, and that the sex side
effects go away within a few months as some people
report. (I'm in the same boat as you--on celexa
a short amount of time--was psyched b/c I thought
'maybe this is the drug I won't have the sexual
side effect with!', only to be disappointed--i'm
hoping it will go away)..I feel the same frustration
of trying all the different meds, and how much
time it takes, and how wearing it can be on your
body and mind to experiment and try and find the
right combination. I'm starting to feel
stress rather than joy about my sex life, and
that makes me sad b/c it's always been the one
thing WASN'T wrong with me...
You said you've tried
Serzone--that's one I haven't tried and
I've heard
it has no sexual side effects--did you find it
still interfered?
Anyway, I'm sorry I don't have any helpful advice
your post just tugged at my heart because I know
what you're feeling. I'm wishing the best for you]
