Suggest An Alternative To Citalopram For Treatment Of Anxiety
I have general anxiety disorder, currently taking citalopram. It does not seem to be working anymore as I am anxious, and having panic attacks. The medicine gives me sexual side affects that I do not like, I am only 41 years old. Is there a medication that I can take that will not cause the side effects. i have tried many other meds, Paxil, prozac, etc. t

Hello,
* There are many of the anxiety medications which do interfere with sex performance and satisfaction.
In my clinic, I do recommend intake of melatonin ( 3 mg ), a prescription drug that helps to maintain circardian rhythm of sleep and anxiety control without altering sex desire and performance ; but you should discuss the same with your consultant.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
