"I have uterine cancer" (faithful928)

MDJunction to me

"MDJunction means that I no longer have to feel like I am the only person in
the world with pericarditis. It means that I can talk to others who know
how stressful and how painful having pericarditis can be. It means that I
connect with others to discuss treatments that have or haven't worked for us, so that we have a leg to stand on. I think that having my friends at
MDJunction has allowed me to better mentally and emotionally process my
diagnosis and what it means to me. I feel so lucky to have this community
available to me. I use MDJunction as a way to use my experience to help
others. Reaching out to help others is the only solace I have found since
being diagnosed with pericarditis." (Hazeldee)

Celexa - Personal Side Effects

Has anyone that takes Celexa had side effects of the intimate nature...i.e. for a male not being able to "finish". I've read that it's fairly common and can go away with time. I'm looking to see if anyone has found that to be true and if there are any tips to combat that particular side effect or speed up the process.

Well, you can ask your Pdoc to change Meds. About the effect going away with time I have no idea because for as long as I took that med I didnt have any desire at all. However, if he lower the dosage is even worse because you recover the desire but not the ability to finish and that is maddening. I have used both Lexapro and Celexa which are related and the effects are the same in both.

Last but not least DX and meds:

BP II

Lithium 900 mg
Seroquel XR 300 mg
Klonopin 1 mg or more only if needed
