Trisha - thanks so much for your message. I am on week 2 (I think?) and just had a slight anxiety bout because I think i am putting on a little weight. And it DOES take me longer to reach orgasm -- but am holding out in hopes that my body will get used to the meds. I have a friend on Celexa who said his first month he had a lot of s/e's -- including sexual -- that went away. But it's nice to know I am not vain/frivolous (well, maybe I am -- ;)) for thinking sex matters. Good luck back to us!
Patiet and Mariposa - thanks for your response about my dose. I think after my final exam on Weds. I will up to 10 mg even though I already see some s/e's that I don't like (see above) but I am going to give it 6-8 weeks. Plus I see my doctor in two weeks and will see what she says.
