One of the side effects of citalopram is ejaculatory delay & impotence. Another S/E is mood changes & suicidal ideations. Talk to your MD in regards to the dose, or perhaps changing medications to one with a more favorable outcome for you. Best of luck :-)

you need to talk to your family doctor about this, not on here. Sounds like you might be gay and you are having issues with accepting it.. Pills don't make you change your feelings for women and turn gay my friend.. You need to get some help obviously.. peace out :)

Some antidepressants do indeed affect sexual desire. I haven't heard the change in preference as one of the side-effects.
Then again, if we are honest, we all have "bi" urges once in a while.
