Did celexa cause the worst sexual dysfunction for you? I'm male, and wary of taking any more medications. I don't think I needed the celexa in the first place.

I don't think it will be permanent, but I do expect that it could take several more months until things are back to normal. I've taken one SSRI or another for about 6 years with short breaks in between. I'm not on an SSRI at the moment though, I stopped taking Celexa a few months ago. Before I took my first SSRI I had quite a high libido, I have had a low libido for several years now. I have no way of knowing whether my current low libido has anything to do with my past use of SSRIs.
