To be short and blunt, my BF and I had sex earlier and i can't "get there". Used to be able to- no problems. Now it is just frustrating! I've been on the same meds for some time now. Even alone I can't "get there" anymore- or if i do, it is hard work. It isn't that I don't enjoy sex- I do- but when your mind "Time to get there" and you physically can't muster the right brain connections or something.....
ETA: I'm on celexa, but have been for three years now. The dose hasn't been upped recently, either. I have a wonderful sexual appetite- well, used to have MORE, before Depakote (since oct. 2006) kinda dampened it - but still I'd say everything seems in working order except this one aspect. I'm also being evaluated for possible cysts on my ovaries, and possibly to do with my Mirena IUD (with progesterone) but had that for 4 1/2 years now and, again, no issues that I know of. |

my wife has been on Celexa for over a year and doesnt have the interest in sex she once did.....although I dont notice her having any problem with orgasm
the hormones can also cause sexual side-effects but mostly low libido.... id check with your doc on your next appointment hope this helps.. |

Have you reading the thread I started on this subject....... as I too am on Celexa and it does make it hard for a women to get there over time - it is as though that darn orgasm is always right out of arms reached.
The practice I mention in my other thread has really helped me out in the marriage bed - w00t w00t. http://forums.psychcentral.com/showf...&o=186&fpart=1 |

Celexa does that! It's very frustrating because you have to decide whether having enjoyable sex is better then getting off the meds or the pain of switching, or vice versa....sucky decision.

It seems now that things are a bit better. It may have been an emotional issue, as we were having some relationship issues which have been mostly sorted out now. While I still haven't "gotten there" in a technical sense, I get what seems BETTER- shaking and trembling uncontrolably and what I'd describe as "dying with each touch for more". We have also tried some new positions. As I say, I'm not complaining. I did relate this to him, and I think he's a bit more in tune with what I need- as I told him what things really "do it for me". I still feel, though, that if I could just reach that bit further.... I can empathize with how HE is feeling and, in a way, feel bad I can't feel that way myself. Hard to describe as, on the whole, its all the BEST experience I've had with anybody and I'd much prefer it to "getting there" other times. Its just that all of this PLUS getting there would be GREAT!

hmm, well hopefully things get better and you find the reason behind it.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
