i think celexa is the worst SSRI for causing blunted emotions and lack of libido... but probably one of the best for anxiety... on the other hand.... i think prozac is better for not blunting emotions or libido........like others suggest... i would consider adding a little wellbutrin.... or switching to prozac if necessary (i ended up switching to parnate myself... but heck that washout was no fun at all)
