Fuck that, I'm quitting that shit.
From Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors and Sex:
Quote:
Sexual problems are highly prevalent in both men and women and are affected by, among other factors, mood state, interpersonal functioning, and psychotropic medications. The incidence of antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction is difficult to estimate because of the potentially confounding effects of the illness itself, social and interpersonal comorbidities, medication effects, and design and assessment problems in most studies. Estimates of sexual dysfunction vary from a small percentage to more than 80%. This article reviews current evidence regarding sexual side effects of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Among the sexual side effects most commonly associated with SSRIs are delayed ejaculation and absent or delayed orgasm. Sexual desire (libido) and arousal difficulties are also frequently reported, although the specific association of these disorders to SSRI use has not been consistently shown. The effects of SSRIs on sexual functioning seem strongly dose-related and may vary among the group according to serotonin and dopamine reuptake mechanisms, induction of prolactin release, anticholinergic effects, inhibition of nitric oxide synthetase, and propensity for accumulation over time. A variety of strategies have been reported in the management of SSRI-induced sexual dysfunction, including waiting for tolerance to develop, dosage reduction, drug holidays, substitution of another antidepressant drug, and various augmentation strategies with 5-hydroxytryptamine-2 (5-HT2), 5-HT3, and alpha2 adrenergic receptor antagonists, 5-HT1A and dopamine receptor agonists, and phosphodiesterase (PDE5) enzyme inhibitors. Sexual side effects of SSRIs should not be viewed as entirely negative; some studies have shown improved control of premature ejaculation in men. The impacts of sexual side effects of SSRIs on treatment compliance and on patients' quality of life are important clinical considerations.

Only thing I miss about my antidepressants is that it was so much easier to fuck for hours.

I had that problem too, so I quit cold turkey
which most people say is a bad idea
WTF were they talking about?
quitting that shit made me feel like I was rolling for 3 weeks
weird body sensations, not unpleasent at all "brain zaps" = enjoyable rush
And I am completly fixed from celexa too, at least I feel like I am
I was SOOOOO pissed off/depressed everyday for a few months because of a heart problem and I knew I wouldnt live older than my 30s or 40s
then I got on celexa
felt nothing while I was taking it for 5 months, not happy, but at least not in complete dispair all the time.
I quit because:
A- I didnt want to have to rely on a pill to feel normal B- CANT CUM!! extremely unsatisfiying
Now I have been off it for a little over a year and I havent gone back to my depression. In fact I seem to be the happiest I have ever been in my life.
Life's a garden, man. Dig it.
and plant some "feels good man" plants in it
yeeeee!

That's what I'm doing, I was kind of pissed when I found out that this happened to me!

I hope that happens to me, I've only been on it for a few months.

I felt a difference while on it, but not that big of a difference.

I was quite frustrated when this first happened to me (not being able to cum).

Yeah, I still have a shitload left, so if I ever need it for that reason, then i'll start using them again.

The brain zaps should start in a few days, they lasted a few weeks with me.
And when they SAY brain zaps, they MEAN brain zaps
It was like a pleseant tourettes syndrom

GreenMachine is the first person I've ever heard that enjoyed the brain zaps. Most people say it feels like they stuck their finger in an electrical socket.
-------------------- Same thing happened to me when I played Neil Armstrong in Moonshot. They found me in an alley in Burbank trying to re-enter the earth's atmosphere in an old refrigerator box.

Sounds bad, I'm not sure I would want to do that. Maybe talk to your doctor to see if you can have a less severe way out?

Around here, doctors will usually suggest a monitored reduction program, with dosage lowered every few weeks or so, as long as the withdrawal effects don't become too bad.
I didn't enjoy the brain zaps very much, personally.

Nah, she doesn't need to know about it; I've only been on them for a couple of months, so maybe I won't even feel the brain zaps.
