Celexa Sexual Side Effects: Sex Drive and Orgasm Problems
Celexa is known to cause a decrease in sex drive (known as libido). In clinical studies where side effects of Celexa were documented, a decreased sex drive occurred in up to 3.8 percent of men and 1.3 percent of women taking the drug. Also, 1.1 percent of women taking Celexa reported problems with anorgasmia (inability to achieve orgasm).
Ther only thing is to change to (wellbutrin)…All the other anti-depressants cause sexual problems. Most companies say only 1 to 2 % are affected. More like 90 %.
As far as I know Wellbutrin does not cause sexual side effects.
Good luck.

Hello. I’m here to tell you there is hope and help for anxiety, panic, and depression. My name is Deborah and I lead and manage a support group called Recovery International, a support organization for people who have anxiety, panic, and depression. I began having panic attacks at age 10 and Id like to share the help and hope I have found in my search for healing. The point of this blog is to reach out and to inspire those who suffer from severe anxiety or panic attacks or depression and to let them know that they are not alone and they are not hopeless. My desire is to share with others the resources that have helped me to overcome many limitations caused by this condition. I am proud to say that the healing I got from RI and The Midwest Center For Anxiety And Stress gave me the strength to an unhealthy family situation and relocate to another region of the country alone with my two children. This move gave both my kids and myself a new beginning. Years later, a great personal challenge brought on a setback. The panic attacks came back worse than before but I’m grateful to Recovery International for giving me the tools to manage them and I’m getting stronger with each day. I must say that I am grateful for the wonderful and brave souls God has graced my life with who have been such a support to me. Knowing their victories of overcoming debilitating anxiety, panic, and depression themselves continued to give me strength, and encouragement throughout the setback. I committed again to daily reading of Dr. Lows books, battling my old thinking patterns and learning all over again to say NO to the impulse to panic when those fear thoughts and symptoms reared their ugly heads. Im so grateful for the support of the RI members who would not let me slip back into hopelessness throughout my setback. Included in that wonderful circle of support is an actual patient of Dr. Lows who completely overcame panic attacks using the method alone. In Dr. Lows biography, My Dear Ones, she is referred to as one of his most difficult cases. Back then they didnt have the medications we have today and she got well anyway. Its been an honor and a privilege to be her friend and to have her as a mentor Each time I speak with her she tells me point blank, You tell yourself if (anonymous) can get well, so can I. She always tells me, Recovery International saved my life. I’m grateful.

Give me your feedback please I have been dealing with this for 6 years.
I’m going through that, and I started taking some supplements:
SAM-e - taken once a day on an empty stomach, then wait 1/2 hour before your next meal.
5-HTP - this is an amino acid that helps to balance your serotonin levels in the brain, reducing anxiety naturally. Take 20 minutes before a meal, or with a meal.
Also take a good multivitamin once a day.
A lot of menopause symptoms are physical, you’re not imagining that it’s stressful…it is! Do what you can to improve your diet, but the supplements helped me within one day! It may take longer for you, but what a difference! Good luck…
MENtal anxiety

MENstrual cramps
MENopause…
we were born from woMEN
i saw my contraceptive nurse 3 months ago, i asked about the sterilisation, but that was it. I asked my neurologist today what he thought about the issue RE infections (oh yeah, I have multiple sclerosis! and could pass my faulty genes on to a child.) What other options do I have? I Dont want to foster or adopt, some times I have bad fatigue, and depression + anxiety, I can't get stressed, thats the main thing. and the thought of having a child stresses me out. Me and my OH(whos 33)have thought long and hard, people think cos i'm 27 I shouldnt be thinking to have it done YET. (my OH's mum has ms too,) Please can you give us any info you know about?
weve already tried the depo injections, mini pill, (they made me v. depressed and made me agressive too) what would be best for me? even for OH (he said hed take the male equivalent of the pill)
thanks ppl for reading this epic post, any suggested ideas will be appreciated
Sterilization will not lead to early menopause. You will still get your period. Having your " tubes tied " will only prevent pregnancy. You are young to consider sterilization but, if you have thought hard about your options, then that is what is most important. But, you seem to have doubts as well. Many women have second thoughts about starting a family , completely normal. Perhaps, your OH can takes measures to prevent pregnancy. This will alleviate some of your stress and yet, give you more time to think about having your tubes tied. Have you spoken with a Genetic Counselor ?? Most OB/GYN offices have counselors available. I hope that this is helpful and Good Luck !!
Emotional symptoms may include:
Mood changes
Anxiety
Forgetfulness or problems with focus and concentration.

She's 61. She should be done with menopause by now theoretically.
Perhaps I should mention she was exhibiting the preliminary symptoms of an anxiety attack, shortness of breath and whatnot,I just didn't know what was going on and didn't take her seriously. What was I supposed to do?
If she's going through it, what makes you thinks that she know if she hasn't been seen by a doctor?? It could be many things…. Like you/kids/work giving her a lot of stress… Try to help her instead of just sit there playing "what's wrong with you?"
So what, now panic attacks or shortness of breath means menopause??? Well, I guess a lot of us are passed that stage based on your assumptions!!!
Haha! You sound like my husband: She's mad at me, she must be PMSing!!
My hormones are whacked and I just know all these issues are related to menopause. Have any thoughts.
Negative emotions (like sadness, stress, anger, etc.) causes your Serotonin production to be low; when your Serotonin level is low, you are more prone to getting Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Depression, etc.
Medication like Antidepressants (SSRI - Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) helps to boost Serotonin level.
But there are natural ways to do it without medication. There’s this strange herb called “St John’s Wort” - it is said to be more effective than Prozac. No, it is not for mild depression only and ignore those sayings. In fact, it does help anxiety and panic-attacks as St John’s Wort works like prozac. Other natural ways will be exercise, diet, more exposure to light, etc.
The problem is that, even if your Serotonin is balanced… you have that “learned behavior” in your mind. You need to break that initial cycle to destroy that learned behavior - Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) does this. A technique that you can use without CBT will be Distraction… There are several other techniques to help cope them!
Ok, to use Distraction: Firstly, try to….
