Are Celexas And Citalopram Of Same Composition?

The drug Celexas is being sold on line as a male sexual enhancement drug. Is it the same as the atidepressant SSRI, Citalopram? They added a s on the end of the word and I guess they can claim its not the same drug. How would it enhance male sexual performance? I have heard from a physician that treats men for early ejaculation (PE) that antidepressant SSRI s can heip with PE. What do you recommend? I am a 60 y/o man who has experienced issues with BPH, PE, and occasional impotence characterized by weaker softer erections. I have found my own self help remedies with all of these. First, lost weight--35 lbs. started working out--cardio and strength training. I have increased my clean, lean protein intake (whey) and eat lots of vegetables. I swim, run and lift weights. I also began to study exercises and techniques for controlling the reflex of ejaculation. I use OTC supplements to heip slow down atherosclerosis, keep my blood pressure in check and diabetes at bay; baby aspirin (81 mg daily); DHEA 50 mg /day, Vitamin B Complex; Garlic; Korean Ginseng; and Saw Palmetto. This regimen has markedly improved my sexual stamina and performance without any dangerous prescription drugs.

Hi,

Citalopram is a racemic mixture, whereas escitalopram is its S-enantiomer. Both agents have similar profiles of clinical efficacy and side effects. ... Citalopram is a bicyclic naphthalene derivative and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), with antidepressant and anxiolytic activities.
They are not sexual enhancers but they cause delayed or painful ejaculation.
Ginseng is a sexual enhancer,control your blood sugar levels and atherosclerosis to maintain good penile filling, get counseling, do meditation, continue anal contraction exercises, use sildenafil (intermittently).

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. AJEET SINGH, General & Family Physician
