I have been on citalopram for a month now and do feel massivly better, i'm taking 20mg daily and have lost the anxiety, mood swings and tears for unknown reasons.
The only noticable side effect is that i am finding it extremely difficult to ejaculate. My sex drive is always high and I have never had a problem in this area before, infact quite the opposite. My erections are constant but i just cant orgasm.
Has anyone else experienced this???

I'm also having the same problem with orgasm and this happened during the first week of taking just 10mg. I hope things get better especially when we come off the medication. I don't think I can handle my sex life being affected and neither will my partner.

Thanks for taking the time to reply Sarah. I'm sure your partner will be supportrive as well as understanding. My girlfriend has been fine, I think it's probably more frustrating for us as at least they can reach their orgasm. Still, with an understanding partner and an understanding of why the enjoyment of sex shouldnt dissapait. Keep smiling and good luck Sarah, it wont be forever.

Thankyou John for the advice you have given further down - I think 114. I am now on 20mg since yesterday and don't feel sick or anything but just tired. I'm feeling myself a lot more and am getting down to the studies. I will take your advice and just hope for the best. As for sex it's the last thing on my mind but again I will just hope for the best. Thanks for taking the time to reply, it means a lot especially when you feel so alone. I also hope the best for you too.
Sarah
