Do sexual side effects of SSRIs wear off after stopping the drug?

Do sexual side effects of SSRIs wear off after stopping the drug?

Hi! I've recently been prescribed Celexa (I plan to do about 20 mg for 9 months to a year). I know that Celexa, like any SSRI, causes sexual side effects like low libido, erectile dysfunction, and anorgasmia. My question is: Will these side effects wear off after I stop the Celexa? Can anyone who has experience with Celexa or other SSRIs tell me if their sexual side effects wore off after the treatment was over? If the sexual side effects are permanent (as some on the internet claim), then it's not worth it t me to take the drug.

Call your pharmacist or doctor or the drug manufacturer. There is no value in anecdotal evidence from us on those issues.
