> It is great reading everyone's comments on Celexa. I am considering going on it to lessen some of the pain. I have never been on an antidepressent or an SSRI before and I am a bit nervous. I was wondering about side effects...the memory loss thing is freaking me out, not to mention the decreased sexual desire. Does this all stabilize over the first few weeks/months? Does your memory come up to 100% or at least where it was? It would be great to get some feedback and any other general info as well. I suffer from a very mild depressive state (often non existent) however, occaisionally it dips and it becomes quite difficult to manage. My psychiatrist suggested this new SSRI and I am considering it.
> Thanks for the help
> RosieI felt a bit foggy when I initially started Celexa and felt a bit zombieish and it was hard to concentrate but I had other things going on in my life. I've been on it for 4 months and do not have any forgetfulness. I did have a decreased sensation when having sex in the beginning - but was still able to have an orgasm. It seems that before Celexa, I more easily had an orgasm from external stimulation - now I don't seem to be able to have that - I can only have an orgasm through penetration. But I have an orgasm practically every time we have sex.
