hi Koko!
now you wrote:
> This brought up a really good point...One of the other reasons that I decided to switch to Lex is because I heard that the sexual SE's were reportedly less than with Celexa. Has anyone else experienced any sexual side effects from Lex, positive or negitive?
>now i have never had celexa (nor any t'other ADs), so i don't know about them and i haven't read enough posts about celexa's SEs to shake a stick at ... ...
...
... however, you asked about lex sex SEs ... (you asked, okay?) ... (you're friend ~jim thinks everyone's sick from hearing me post about this ... so my old posts may amuse you (?))... anyway, i have had both negative and positive effects from lexapro ...
first the negative:
maybe 5 or 6 days of anorgasmia (inability to orgasm) ... these were like days 2 through 7 ... (or maybe 3 through 9?) ... anyway, very very early on ... and it went away completely ...
which bring us to ...the positive:
... once i recovered from the anorgasmia ... things got ... better ... a lot better ... a whole lot better ...understand that to begin with i had experienced NO problems ... no problems with libido; no erectile dysfunction; and i had never imagined anorgasmia before ....
... and now everything is as good as it ever was ... except my orgasmic response has been improved ... ... a LOT ... dramatically ... much better
... ... when i had never imagined it Could be "better" ... ... but it is like a new experience now ... way different ...... you had to ask ... ( !! ) ... but my experience is not typical ... ... ... i have asked for lex users' feedback about this and i have found only a few who had negative responses and many of them were also on other meds ... and i found a few who had positive responses as well .. ....
that's my story ...
TAKE CARE!!
