I'm going to stop taking Citalopram
Post Body

I am stopping my Citalopram. Strictly because of sexual frustration.

Has anyone here stopped this med? I'm a little worried about side effects of stopping. I am not too worried about my depression. I feel like I can manage that at this point of my life. But we'll see. Any feedback or advice will be helpful.

UPDATE after about 12 days off. I have had some withdrawals. Nothing too horrible. Headaches, moodiness, some anxiety. The worst part has been for the past 4 days, I have been irritable and furious. I know that my feelings are withdrawal and hormone driven. I have had to be extra careful on how I treat people. People who are close to me, I tell them what is going on. It sucks that when you know you are mad for no reason, but cannot shake it!. I even turned down a booty call from my FWB. She can get on my nerves on the best of days. I explained what was going on and she was actually understanding. She is an emotional wreck anyway, so she related. On a positive note! I can Cum and ejaculate again. (it was such an ordeal, that sometimes I would start and just give up.) Not being able to cum was a plus for my girlfriend at first. I could go a long time, until she had enough. But then it started working on her self esteem. She thought it was something wrong with her.

Will I stay off of them? I don't know. I can handle the irritability (if it does not get too bad). But if I start getting legit suicidal feelings, I'll have to start again.
