A member asked:
Is my sexual anhedonia permanent? after 3 months on 10mg citalopram i took 100mg over a 2-day span and quit. a month later i resumed 10mg and tapered.

No, shouldn't be...: Wow! 100mg over a 2 day span? Why? Talk to your doc about this. And promise to take medications only as prescribed. So it's not clear to me what you're taking now, if anything. Citalopram & other ssri class antidepressants can affect sex drive. But so can depression! best to again talk w/your doc about your concerns. In general, side effects should resolve as medication wears off.
