I am currently taking citalopram for depression for over 6 months and it is not working, it has unwanted sexual side effects, what should i do?

Anti-depressant: Talk to your doctor. There are many other medications out there you can try. Men often have sexual side effects with these meds. Consider trying wellbutrin (bupropion).

Rx change: See you physician and ask about vilazodone, or viibryd (vilazodone hydrochloride). Has a lower sexual side effect profile.
