Citalopram and sex drive...

This is probably more to do with sex but I wanted to post it in here as I'm more likely to get the response I'm after..
I'm on Citalopram for anxiety and depression (:() and since I began taking it a couple of weeks ago I've noticed a massive drop in my sex drive...is this normal? I don't even know if it's related to the medicine or if it's just a coincidence but I'm usually a very sexually active kind of person and it's suddenly all gone...
Has anyone else experienced this? Is it normal and will it come back?

Not sure if it was with this particular SSRI - I've had goodness knows how many different types. But with one particular brand/type, I'd literally have a hard-on for three-quarters of the day. Even if I relieved myself - and it took 3-4 hours each time - I'd still find another semi with extreme ease.
I think my record was ~16 hours of masturbation in the one day. It was hell. I'm sure a few women would have loved being the recipient of such 'fun', but christ, it hurt like hell...
Good luck :-).
