Celexa and sex drive?

Yesterday my doctor started me on 20mg of Citolopram (generic of celexa) for anxiety and mild depression...I'm 19 and currently have no issues at all with my sex drive, and if anything, I feel it is quite high. Since I'm currently not having any issues I'm concerned the celexa will affect my libido...I know antidepressants in general can have an affect of your sex drive, but being so young, should it be a major concern for me?

Also, my mom is on celexa as well and has told me she hasn't had any issues of that sort while on it...Should that lessen my concern since our body chemistry is similar?

Has anyone else who is early to mid 20's faced an issue with libido while on celexa?

Thanks so much!!

    I used to take 20mg Citalopram (I'm 19) and it really effected my sex drive, I just stopped having one! It was crazy. I am off them now and have my sex drive back. However everyone is different.

    I actually have not heard of celexa. Do you propose celebrex. if so certain between the passable undesirable effects of celebrex is decreased sexchronic. there are countless arthritis and heart drugs that shrink sexchronic. you want to ask your Dr. don't be embarrassed. they have considered and heard a number of this stuff many situations
