Bad dizziness/wavy when I turn my head.. clenching teeth..my right arm is aching.. no idea why or if it has anything to do with this...
moody...feeling I can cry and have.. at almost anytime.. headaches behinf the eyes..
This is hard..not to mention no libido whatsoever...

I have been on Celexa (citalopram) for about 13 months. I took it at night, starting with 10mg and over time worked up to 60mg which is the max. dose. My doctor switched me to Lexapro and then Cymbalta to see if they worked better, but eventually I ended up back on Celexa, that seemed to be best. I did gain about 35 pounds on it, though and was still going, along with absolutely NO sex drive whatsoever. When my husband could finally coax me into it, I couldn't orgasm at all. I finally begged him to even stop trying, the attempts seemed to annoy me. This wasn't me, so I slowly tried weaning off of it. First down to 40, then 20, then 10.
so here's my question: I've been completely off of it for 3 days now and I'm still feeling dizzy, lightheaded, have indigestion, headaches, etc. The other times I was off of it, I went right on another med, so I didn't seem to notice the side effects. Anyone who has been taken off of Celexa, PLEASE respond and let me know how long these awful effects last? I have a 2 year old I have to care for and she doesn't understand why mommy feels "woozy" all the time.

headaches, frequesnt upper resoiratory infections, aggravate allergies, delayed ejaculations with less power, legs feeling tight and jumpy, hit or kick while dreaming. greater than normal libido, especially for minority women.

My husband is on celxa and since then, he sweats alot more, needs a nap almost everyday, is extremely nauseous, and has a bit of sexual dysfunction. His libido is fine, but there is some eractile dysfunction. His mood is a lot better, but I'm worried about the side effects.

I have never had a problem before with orgasming from masturbation but since I started having sex and taking Yasmin and Celexa it has been hard for me to climax during sexual intercourse, despite becoming close to climax. I have been on Celexa for about 10 months. I have been on Yasmin for a little over a year now and have been experiencing an inability to climax and have noticed a decrease in sex drive within the past two months. Any suggestions??
