  • Bex:

    yes! this is all normal! I got off lexapro and all the same things happened to me.

    Working out really helps judge it or not.

  • MysteryMan09:

    First of all, DO NOT GET OFF MEDS WITHOUT CONSULTING YOUR DOCTOR…I am now on a new med called Pristiq and works fantastic..second off I would just delight in the fact that you still have a sex drive and pig out! Life is too small to worry about these things! Of course, i exercise like a racehorse.

    Google the side effects of Lexapro and see if one of them was decreased sexual libido.

    Did your sex drive go back to a normal level for you or is it something you’ve never experienced before?

    Be careful of the junk food; you don’t want to have a consequence problem as a result of stopping the Lexapro.

  • Skibunnie123:

    a lot of anti depressents will also surpress sex drive…so makes sense to me! my advice would be to stay off the anti depressent and have a excellent time! i don’t reckon many public who are engaging in routine sex are very depressed…lol

    We could go to McDonalds, buy a load of junk food, and then go back to my place and talk about it. : ))

    Most antidepressants inhibit the sex drive which is a problem for most public. Vacant off of the Lexapro allowed you to return to normal. Most antdepressants also cause an increase in appetite. The fact that your appetite has increased after stopping the medication is doubtless just a normal fleeting thing.

  • e_romerodiaz:

    Well is not normal to increase the sex drive, anti depressants regularly have the opposite effect.

    Like you mentioned, difficulty to reach an orgasm, that is a more common symptom. But remember medicines can affect each person differently, so consult a doctor and tell him before changing your medication.
