I am a 45 year old male and I started to take cipralex 10 mg. a year ago. I took half doses for a month and since two weeks i'm off the pills completely. I feel o.k. and have no withdrawal side effect.
Since i was ashamed and afraid my wife wouldn't approve me taking anti depression (she would probably rather have me seeing going into therapy or looking for alternative treatment and i felt i was in emergency) i didn't tell her last year i started to take the medication. Two months ago she found out and was in shock. She showed me her diary: she was worried about our sexlife already for a long time, asking herself why i didn't want her anymore like i used to, since we had a very passionate sexlife. She even started to ask herself if i might have an affair with someone else. Also she worried about why i changed in behavior, lost my patience so easily and got completely work aholic....
I was in shock too, didn't notice these changes in myself (a bit of problem with ejaculation, that's all i thought) and started to look different now, through her eyes, recognizing what she said. I felt very bad I didn't share it with her and that i made her so worried over the last year.
I stopped two weeks ago and feel a slight improvement in sex drive, erection and ejaculation. But it is not back to the level i was at all. I started to read on forums about this. Some people say cipralex can make a permanent damage to your libido. Is this true? and if not how long can I expect to suffer from this reduced libido. will i get my passionate sex life back?
