I'm truely sorry if this sounds like an inappropriate question but I don't care about what I read in the pamphlet. With my ex, I totally lost my drive, but I wasn't happy w/him anymore to begin with and knew the relationship was about to end. So I don't know if the Lexapro might have also contributed to my losing it. Anyone had problems w/lexapro in this area or any other areas?

Yes it's well documented to show sexually related side-effects such as premature ejaculation, descrease in sex drive, and anorgasmia.
But then again all the anti-depressants I know of have those side-effects...some worse than others though.

I take Lexapro.. and did have side effects with my husband... I think it was the husband causing the side effects cuz he's out of the picture now and my 'side effect' is gone also.

Lexapro is yet another call for Escitalopram! ( I had to look it up!!) We contained in the united kingdom call it Ciprolex! whether it could reason loss of libido or loss of pastime and expertise in sexual intercourse! i'm unsure what u mean via significant Sexual factor consequences! In men it may bring about prolonged and Painful erection which needs emergency interest and is named continual priapism! it extremely is supplied that erection lasts better than an hour and is painful!therapy is contained in the A&E under expert suppervision and as i presume u are woman, it shouldnt be a difficulty ! loss of libido and absence of orgasm is a few ingredient which will desire to revert to ordinary whilst u provide up the medction and usualy it takes 2 weeks for the drug to thoroughly get out of ur device!

I have used Lexapro. And yes, it can decrease your sex drive. Almost all Anti-Depressants I have been on killed my sex drive. I have not found one myself that did not hurt my sex drive. But if your relationship is based on your sex drive, you don't really have a relationship. I have been 2 years without a sex drive. Maybe if I had a girl approach me it would be better :)

no, it is not a medication side effect. It is a psychological cause and effect in progress. When you know your relationship is headed for the dump your drive generally goes with it.
