I have been taking celexa for 8 days now. I was having panic attacks which were a result of insomnia.
I have dropped dowm to 10mgs. taken at 5:00 am. and still have trouble sleeping.
I've tried unisom at night to no avail. It has cured my anxiety but the insomnia prevails.
Sex has not been any problem in fact it may be even better where I am more relaxed.
If the delayed orgasm is a problem for men I would suggest an aerobic workout daily so that you will have the wind to follow through.
It's not for everyone but a doobie before sex may help to relax you. Good luck!
