Yeah, I think one of the other posters was right about all the SSRI's tend to do that because they work mainly by increasing serotonin.
And that's great when you're seriously depressed. But the downside can be more subtle. It's like, the sound quality is much better, but the dynamic range is much less. The louds aren't as loud, and the softs not as soft as in a live performance.
Like lately I noticed that I was taking a greater interest in sex than I have for awhile.(Thinking, dreaming, glancing, etc.)
Then I realized that 2 weeks ago I'd cut my Lexapro dose from 20mg to 10.
That can be the problem. You often don't notice what you're missing. But your friends and intimates may notice the difference, and they may start to lose interest, too. In YOU.
