I have a question. Nothing to do with libido. (But I will say the zoloft hasn't changed it.) Would anyone be able to tell me differences between zoloft and lexapro? I have been on zoloft 50mg for ~6months. I feel like I have hit a brick wall and it's not working (-although I'd be much worse than I am if it really weren't). Some anxiety is back. Not a whole lot, but enough. So I was thinking of increasing the dose to 100mg. Would that help? Or should I try the lexapro? I'm kinda deciding all this on my own. btw -I have taken Paxil in the past, and it stopped working after 6 months also. thanks.

In any event, my lack of sex drive at this point prevents me from getting very turned on during sex. Fortunately, my girlfriend has been understanding.
