Answers:
Citalopram ("Celexa") and Zoloft are both anti-depressant/anti anxiety agents. Celexa, being a newer drug, reportedly has less side effects Than Zoloft (and may be better tolerated). Seroquel is an "ant-psychotic" used in patients with "Bipolar" disease or in mood disorders . It is associated with a lot of side effects including weight gain, fatigue and yes loss of sex drive. I'm not sure what your diagnosis is but I guess it is a combination of depression, anxiety and mood disorder. He probably switched your meds around to improve your mood while decreasing side effects.

if you wanted to stay on the zoloft you can tell the doctor and stay on it. You won't know how you'll do on the citalopram until you have taken it 3 weeks. Health Question & Answer
