Hi, late 30s male, always been fairly fit and healthy, I have a high pressure job which involves a lot of travelling and socialising. I started 10mg Citalopram about a week ago as I have been struggling with anxiety and low mood for the last few months. Fortunately my side effects have not been too severe, I was pretty zonked for the week and a bit of nausea (not sure this was a side effect or my anxiety) but yesterday I felt a lot more upbeat.

One thing I have noticed, despite reading that Citalopram can negatively affect your sex drive, I have found the complete opposite to be true. For the last 2-3 days I have been incredibly horny, masturbating daily and last night i had the most incredible sex with my wife. I have noticed it takes longer to ejaculate but that might not be such a bad thing.

I know this could even out but not sure I really want it to.
