Hi
Myself and my boyfriend have recently dropped our meds. Hes been taking 60mg Proxac for about 5-6 years as well as 400mg Quetiapine and 30mg Valium. He stopped taking the latter two November last year and the change in him was amazing. He dropped to 40mg of Proxac early this year.
I recently stopped taking 20mg Citalopram as I didn't want to be on meds (Only taking them for 3 months or so but they just weren't for me). I had some sexual side effects while on them and they cleared up pretty quickly after I stopped taking them.
He stopped taking his Proxac 2 weeks ago and went cold turkey. So far, he said he hasnt had any side effects (and he didnt after he stopped taking Quetiapine but some after quitting Valium). His sex drive peaked for a few days after he quit Proxac and I couldn't of been happier. Its been a difficult subject since we met a year ago as it doesn't happen all that often.
Since those few days, its dipped right down again and he has little interest. How long does it take to 'return to some normality'? He assures me there has been a change regarding the subject, but there was been little physical evidence.
