Re: Celexa

Hi matt,

improvements should come soon...or may stay.

please wait before taking any new medication; wellbuterin might also loss of

libido.

give time a chance;

and for sure dont make her start taking pills again, as the have a high chance

of ruining things more (on a sexual level).

and for one,

dont trust the person prescribing the stuff. they have been educated to make a

living out of prescribing the stuff that ruined many sexual lives.

if the sexual problems will remain;

for sure your wife's psych will tell you her loss of libido and genital numbness

will not have been caused by the pills, but by her current psych. state. please

let him know this is absolutely not the case.(nail him by the balls instead!)

greets,

Sebastiaan

I've been off of Zoloft for 6 months now and have been taking generic

Wellbutrin, Bupropion 150 mg for a month now and I can't say I have noticed any

improvement in my sexual function. I'm still numb sexually with near zero

libido, no morning wood, trouble getting and maintaining erections etc. I keep

reading about Wellbutrin causing hypersexuality and I wouldn't mind this side

effect, but it hasn't happened so far. Good luck to you and your wife.

In the 11 months that I've been a member of this group, I have learned a lot

about PSSD, yet no one can really say if your wife will improve sooner rather

than later.

I can share my experience. My genital anesthesia and zero libido continued for

almost 3 1/2 years. There was no improvement just with the passage of time.

Once I joined this group and learned others were having success with

supplementation, my mood swings and anhedonia (both very severe) improved once I

started on fish oil 1000 mg 3 times a day. More improvements once I added

Vitamin D 2000 mg/day.

Genital anesthesia improved a bit with lots of herbs recommended by a Dr. Lin in

Florida. You can read some of my previous posts for more information.

The drug that gave me such severe problems (both sexual and moodiness) was

Lexapro and I have a friend who had the same severe moodiness (she hasn't shared

with me whether or not she has genital anesthesia). Sounds like celexa has

given your wife similar problems.

My friend and I have talked in depth about how hard the moodiness has been and

the effects it has had on our relationship with our husbands. It is very hard

to deal with.

What has been helpful for me is knowing that my mood swings and sexual

dysfunction are NOT MY FAULT and that there are many others dealing with the

same situation.

Wishing you healing -
