Avatar f tn ) Unfortunately, genital numbness is a fairly common side effect of SSRIs, which is what citalopram is. Some SSRIs cause more sexual side effects than others, and everyone will react differently, but definitely talk to your doctor. Perhaps now is a good time to discontinue it, or lower the dose, or try to switch meds. Don't stop taking it on your own. Some meds can cause serious neurological issues if stopped cold-turkey. https://www.psychologytoday.

Did you have an MRI performed of your cervical spine? Are you still symptomatic from this? Are you still taking citalopram?

Avatar f tn When you say sexual dysfunction ,do you refer to an erectile and ejaculation problem? Do you experience any pain or deformity during erection or ejaculation? When you say "no erection", does this happen 100% of the time? Do you still get night time erections ? Have you any previous infections or prior surgeries or instrumentation of the genitalia? Any recent pain or problems with urination?
Avatar f tn I have sought answers from many places, but sexual dysfunction is SO vague and people seem to take the cookie cutter approach to treatment. My husband has difficulty maintaining an erection (which I realize is part of the MS). Viagra and Cialis have not helped. Despite all of this, we still have a satisfying intimate relationship. But the real problem is that we are trying to get pregnant and 5 times out of 6, he is unable to ejaculate.
Avatar f tn Hello there and welcome to the medhelp forum. The combination of drugs, citalopram that is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor and amphetamine and dextroamphetamine that are dopamine and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor is not recommended. Amphetamines may possess serotonergic activity and should not be administered with SSRIs as there is an additive risk of serotonin syndrome. Enhanced sympathomimetic effects is possible.

Avatar f tn See a urologist who specializes in erectile dysfunction. Alternatively, you could have your primary care doctor prescribe Viagra and see if that works for you.
Avatar n tn I've been taking Citalopram for 2 months and it certainly seems like my semen volume has been affected. Does this drug contribute to lower semen volume?
Avatar m tn Hi, Ive have just been prescribed Citalopram today. And im just wondering if anyone else has used these previously?
Avatar f tn They do not seem to know where they are located and further if they traumatize them and leave you with no sensation they best they can do is say, oh you have got FSD (female sexual dysfunction) or dyspareunia. They can offer you no help. Further I found after seeking help from numerous doctors they really don't want to know about it and are not really able to explain anything to you. I am so sad to say I found them useless, ill informed and neither helpful or consoling.
Avatar f tn I'm 20 years old and I've never had an orgasm. I get about 5% feeling "down there", I don't have any sexual desire, I don't get that wet when I actually want to have sex and I don't know what the problem is. Doctors have told me to "pleasure myself" but that never works if I don't have any feeling down there. Smart advice right? Please let me know what this could be. Thank you!
1441157 tn?1284075251 I went through a long depression and decided to take Cymbalta, After about 2 months I had no sexual fuction (female), headaches, constipation, excessive sweating. I weaned off. Felt great for a few weeks now I am depressed again. I get triggers. What can I take for depression with low side effects? Like no weight gain and sexual disfuction. I can't take Wellbutrin. Paxil took my life away for ten years, I gained weight and was a zombie in bed all the time.
