Citalopram is known as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). This medication works by helping to restore the balance of a certain natural substance (serotonin) in the brain.-wbmd

I have been on BusPar and lorazipam and TRT with no side effects. However once TRT got me to a good lvl I no longer needed any AD meds.
When I was on an SSRI(lexapro) I developed ED and could not climax.

Your side-effects, if any, from the citralopram are likely to be sexual in nature. What Feeling Lost described, erectile and climax issues, aren't uncommon.

Hi, iam having servere anxiety getting on the citalopram, what were you smyptoms, i had anxiety and depression, did you start your your ADs before starting trt...i got that much anxiety right now i darnt take my trt injection. Do you think i should wait until i get use to the citalopram then start trt again, ive only had just over 1ml of test up to now in total.

Iam only 6 days into taking citalopram, and getting severe anxiety getting onto it...my doctor refuses to prescibe valium to...iam thinking of hold off on taking trt until i get into the citalopram..

Maybe that´s a good idea since it may take up to several weeks before your medication start having effect. You might even feel worse during some weak ahead.
