IsThisTheNewMe: Am I normal?

[IsThisTheNewMe]

It’s been 6 weeks now since I last took citalopram and the feeling of numbness has gone except for when it comes to my sex drive. 
 

I now feel a range of emotions which is nice - from being able to watch TV or read and get teary with the subject, or feel excited and joyous.

 

but when it comes to the opposite sex I just don’t feel. I want to feel. I want to be turned on. I want to meet someone. I want that emotional connection. I want to be taken to bed and not feel uncomfortable and it’s just not happening. 

im hoping this isn’t the new me, but what if it is.

Welcome, @IsThisTheNewMe

 

Over the 6 weeks you've been off citalopram, how has your symptom pattern changed?

 

What we see is very gradual recovery from withdrawal syndrome over months. If you have seen some improvement, you are likely to see more.

 

To help us out, follow these instructions Please put your drug and withdrawal history in your signature You may need to use a computer to do this.
