I have been on Citalopram for over a decade and finally, after a very gradual taper, have come off of them completely. That will be 4 weeks cit-free tomorrow!
It's been an immense undertaking, but I'm a determined (stubborn my hubby would say) individual.
There is a lot of information online re cit withdrawal symptoms, but I can't find any discussion re increased (to the point of being out of control) sex drive. I know the cit affects libido, and it's great to welcome it's healthy return. This, however, isn't what I would call healthy.
Even when I had decreased libido on the cit, I was aware of my husband's needs and my emotional needs, so we didn't go through long periods without sex. Now it is really good again, nostalgic of pre-cit days.
However, even just after a very satisfying orgasm when I should be feeling that wonderful relaxed, sleepiness, I start to get "antsy" and physically crave more. It's almost immediate.
One of the more documented withdrawal symptoms I have experienced is Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS). There is a similar feeling in my left arm. A need to move the limb. It's hard to explain, but I feel that the sexual need is a similar thing, and somehow connected.
Well, I'm just going to put it out there...and hope that someone can relate, and can assure me that this heightened craziness will pass.
I am exhausted through lack of sleep.
