quick reaction ? no just the opposite. I did have quite a few startup side effects, that went away.
The only thing quick was nausea & no appetite. sex related effects were slower in onset & associated with a deffinite odd sensation in the pelvic region about 2 hrs after taking zoloft.
Also had something similar with prozac a few yrs ago but sensation was different. did not take the time to make notes of exactly what the feeling was, just remember odd.
It was not an alteration of sensation however.
One suggestion is to take the med in the early AM. part of the sexual suppressive effects are acute & part are chronic. The acute parts appear to be related to blood levels. so if the med is taken a longer time before the time of sexual activity, less effect.
some folks ( I have seen this reported mainly by women ) found that skipping a dose allows Orgasm. An AM dose schedule would give about 36 hrs & fairly low blood levels.
skip the dose this AM, have sex tonight, & resume med tomorrow.
Celexa does not apper to me to have as much of an effect on suppressing and/or delay of orgasm as the zoloft did.
