Re: Lexapro and sexual side effects -- how long do they last for you?

[Guest guest]

If you're experiencing sexual sides they don't go away. The wellbutrin often

helps with that. Give the wellbutrin some time. Also, people have reported if

they don't take a dose of the Lex on the day they want to have sex it helps with

the sexual sides. Doesn't work for every person but for many it does.

It's a toss up and one you may have to choose...the sexual issues or feeling

better. :-(

Lexapro and sexual side effects -- how long do they last

for you?

Hi.

Can you tell me, from your experience, how long do the sexual side

effects last? Mine is anorgasmia. I think I feel better, depression

(don't want to cry) and OCD wise (less ruminating, self-loathing and

guilt) but I'd love to know when and if I might have an orgasm again.

I'm taking 5 mg of lexapro (just starting,and slowly) and 200 mg

wellbutrin X 2 a day, to try to counteract the sexual side effects.)

PS: I've been on it once before, and even though I felt better, I quit

after a short time because of this. Now I'm back on for just a week.

Thanks!
