> To all who are experiencing sexual side effects from Celexa... I too am experiencing the same thing - mostly a lack of desire - Big Time!!! And an orgasm takes a lot of work - very depressing in inself - I'm fortunate to have a girlfriend who's very understanding! Though I don't know how much longer I'll be able to endure this "lobotomized" sexual state of being... Prior to this drug and other AD's in the past couple of years, I felt quite healthy regarding this aspect of my life.... I've read a little bit about people taking Ginseng to counteract this... Anyone know of any supplements/herbs, etc... that would counteract the negative sexual side effects from Celexa? I'd be very appreciative! Dennis

It's becoming a big problem for me. Otherwise I am doing great on my 20 mg daily. But there is not a lot of info about the drug. If anyone has any insight, I would sure love to know. Thanks, sheryl

I have taken celexa for one and a half years and the side effects of sexual dysfunction have never gone. Decreased my dose for a short period by 10mg and was at it like a rabbit!!!
