citalopram made my ex unable to orgasm for a while, but it sorted itself out when she came off them.

I hear prozac does the same. Anti-depressants quelling the love life is fairly common, dont feel embarrased to complain to your doctor for a solution because Im sure he/she would have heard it all before.

i'm sure it won't be the first time she's heard it.

yes. my boyfriend had this problem too and they had to ween him off of them. everything is fine now.

maybe she can give you a different prescription to try.

this shocked me, because i haven't been able to 'finish' properly in months. i mean i do sometimes, but it takes AGES and it's really weak. i thought this was because of my broken heart.

i'm on citalopram.

it also said sometimes these side effects can last for up to a few years after you stop taking it.

how do i tell my doctor i need a new medication cos i can't come?

Don't take this the wrong way, but have you considered you may be frigid?
