I SAW A HERBAL SUPPLEMENT ON A BATHROOM COUNTER AND THE NAME WAS GOAT WEED. I ASKED THE PERSON IF IT HELPED AND HE DIDN'T ANSWER ME. SO I COULDN'T RECOMMEND IT. BUT GOAT WEED WAS THE NAME.

according to the official lexipro website, lexiprocom,
this is a fairly common side effect.
how long have you been taking it: the symptoms could go away, but in my experience, probably not.
it could be alleviated by changing your dose: ask your doctor.
I have noticed that before take my morning dose of anti-depressant, my sex drive and my body are a lot more responsive than after i take it. talk with your doctor about being able to skip a dose (which, by the way is generally a very bad thing to do) if you want to plan a special time.
you and your partner may have to spend some extra time to relax you, soak in a warm tub, have your partner give you a full body massage (your nerve endings are dulled by the drug so the extra touching may wake your body up a bit).
remember, not all love making has to have a orgasm,
being together, skin on skin, can be satisfying. and please don't cut your partner off because you are not in the mood very much. figure it out. help each other out.
your doctor should be sensitive to your issue and find a way to help you.

Just eat things like liver and egg yolks- they have all the nutrients necessary for healthy reproductive response and function. If these don't increase your sex drive, then your nutrition is probably ok, and take the previously mentioned herbs

yes. Go to www.safemedsforless.com. They have a nice selection of natural/native remedies as well as a pharmacy. If you need or want a prescription drug, they have a physcian online that you can talk to and they will give you a prescription.

Go to www.youngliving.com/MARYKING1 and look for Ylang Ylang It did a great job of increasing mine when I was on a anti depressant and in time I even was able to wean myself of of anti depressants but that is another topic

Horny Goat Weed, Damiana, and Fenugreek are the ones I know of.
