I have been on Celexa since May 2, 1999. I have never had any sexual side effects.

Some people have them with Celexa, some don't.
Some people have them, and then they go away.
I took Celexa, and it definately had sexual side
effects for me. But I would take weekend vacations,
and that helped immensely.

I had the orgasm delay-thing & extremely decreased sensitivity for almost the first 6 weeks I took Celexa, then -- one day it just disappeared! I am on 40 mgs a day, plus 30 mgs of BuSpar, and have no sexual side effects whatsoever now.

Good luck!
