In reply to Decreased Sex Drive from Lexapro, etc.--any sugges, posted by Dkscully on June 10, 2005, at 12:27:37
I've been on so many SSRI's and they all do the same thing - NO ORGASMS, so no sex drive. It's a trade-off. I was basically told by my old pdoc what would you rather have - the mental illness symptoms or the orgasms. One pdoc gave me a prescription for viagara and I'm a woman. It did help, but I don't know if I'd take it now because there's stuff in the media about it causing blindness. You might want to try a tricyclic like Elavil which did help me for awhile (all AD's poop out on me) and no sexual side effects. Another AD which might work...Serzone. I know, it's crummy. GOOD LUCK!
