Side effects:
Sex drive (libido) decreased, reduced ability to feel, Bruxism (teeth grinding)
Date
Oct 06, 2008
Advice & Tips
Initially, the Celexa had a very calming effect physically. It improved my sleep and reduced digestive disturbances. The side effects were a 90% loss of libido and sexual function, severe teeth grinding at night and a moderate loss of emotional "depth of feeling". The reason that I stopped treatment was that after 4 years, it stopped working.
