In reply to AD similar to Lexapro that will inhibit sexual des, posted by recumbent on November 17, 2005, at 11:14:34
You want to lower sexual desire? If so, and if you are sure that you are not bipolar, just increase the Lexapro! That will lower your anxiety and depression and desire all at the same time!
Keep in mind that 10 mg is just a starting dose of Lexapro. You can safely go much higher.
> I have been on Lexapro 10mg for two years and it has generally curbed my depression. Lately, due to family struggles, (caused by compulsive buying and other unacceptible behavor) my anxiety level is up and the depression is back.
> Though Lexapro worked great at first, with no sexual side effects, I would prefer to switch to another AD that inhibits desire. It is important that desire is curbed since it is a component of my depression and compulsive behavior. Suggestions? Thanks in advance!
