Citalopram dose too high?

[abigailthespiderinthehat]

Been on varying doses of citalopram on and off for 20 years. Currently on 20mg and I feel the best I've ever felt - problem is I think I feel too numb.. I don't cry at films anymore and nothing whatsoever seems to bother me. Main issue is that I have no sex drive whatsoever. Nothing. Zilch. I know that being under emotional is probably preferable to being anxious and highly emotional but I can't help feeling that the highs have been blunted not just the lows. I can't even remember what sexual desire feels like and it's not doing my marriage any favours. Not sure whether to rock the boat by reducing dose or play it safe. Any good experiences of reducing citalopram?

My friend had a similar experience and went down to 10mg. She said that she didn't really feel any negative effect whatsoever, but started to feel a bit more emotionally awake (if that makes sense!) after a week or so. Maybe speak to your doctor and see what they suggest? But my friend's experience was definitely good and it sounds like you are in a similar position to what she was.

Thanks bella that's good to hear- that's exactly how I'd like to feel- more "emotionally awake". Just scared in case I end up back where I was..
