Celexa and sexual side effects

I am 23 and have been taking 20 mg. of Celexa for 1 yr and 8 mos. This is my first battle with depression and Celexa has really helped. I noticed results in one week. I did try to go off after 1 yr but experienced a relapse after 2 weeks so I started up again.
I have actually lost weight with Celexa and am no longer obsessed with dieting. I don't know if it's the drug or the fact that I'm not depressed that helped me shed the pounds.
The only adverse side-effect that I have experienced is the inability to achieve orgasm. This is horrible. My desire and libido is still the same, I just can't climax and I hate it. My doctor has recommended Viagra (yes, even for a woman) to be taken before intercourse. This didn't work. He also recommended taking a low dose of Wellbutrin in conjunction with Celexa. This didn't work either. I really don't like the idea of switching medications as Celexa is working just fine other than the fact that it's really a bummer for my sex-life! Has anyone else had this problem? Any advice?
Sincerely,
Laura
