> Has anyone else experienced anorgasmia on Lexapro--on as small of a dose as five miligrams? I was thinking of going down to 2.5. But, I am so freaked out. I have never been so sexually dead. Is that the price for not living in miserable anxiety all day? It sure is a deal with the devil.
If you want your libido back, this will do it big time. Get on the Emsam patch, 1/2 of the 6mg will probably do it. Worked on my depression as well. when I had to "up" to 9mg, I switched to Parnate as the food resricts apply on the 9 patch.
Frankly, I couldn't have cared less about sex when I started it. THAT SOON CHANGED. It was embarrassing. It would hit me randomly sometimes, too. (Is there a tree close by? lol).
Anyway, if the patch isn't an option, its just seleligine, which should have the same effect. Remember tho, both are MAOI's. Get from a Dr. I'm not the only one. This is a common, ummmm, side effect. Parnate has similar effect, for me, but doesn't sound like you need a drug that risky.
You will become sexually alive, and the devil can take his toys, or not haha, and go home. You will have to switch AD's, and stick to some med no no's on the lower dose, which should be enough for what you need it for. Please at least try this. I'm not frigid, but I'm telling you, 24/7. It actually got on my nerves sometimes!
Please post and let us know what you decide, and the outcome.
Best wishes,
Jade
