Citalopram? Trade name Celexa? Yes, I was on it once. Reduced my sex drive (sexual interest), and eventually it didn't work so well for me any longer.

When I was on it I felt the effects of it about 30-40 minutes after taking it. It made me feel heavy but kid of high with a floaty feeling at the same time.

I was shall we say "spaced out"

As I continued to use it I my cognitive functions seemed to be impaired. I could not concentrate at all and could not even bare listening to music.

I could also block out all negative thoughts, making them slip away.

All in all, it did me no good and I stopped taking it after around 4-6 weeks or so.
