I would rather have the feeling of well being than sex. To have both would be great but ya can't always get what you want.

St ephaine,
Lexapro has been very effective for me. I've been taking about 6 mos. for depression and anxiety. I feel 100% better. It has helped me deal greatly with the death of my husband. The only side effect I've had is loss of libido.

I started having panic attacks 2 yrs ago. I have been on 15mg of lexapro for 2 yrs now. It took about 3 weeks before I felt good again. I highly recommend this pill for anyone suffering from panic attacks.

bw about the Cymblata, I tried it for a short time and I nearly drowned from sweating. I burned up all the time. Iam now on Lexapro and hope it will work for me. I stay in a depression from constsnt pain. I have been on it for only a few days but my husband said he wanted a divorce and I haven't cried since I started the meds. and now I just don't care if he gets his divorce. I hope this is good!!!

I think Lexapro is the best antidepressant I've taken. Effexor made me sweat profusely and since I'm postmenoposal I thought it was that. So did GYN and now I've cut the extra estradiol and was able to ease off effexor. Now just the Lexapro. feel much better. Good luck.

I have been on Lexapro for a while now and don't have any side effects. If you are having lowered sex drive side effect ask your doctor about adding Wellbutrin to the Lexapro. I was on Wellbutrin for the same reason when I was on Zoloft.

I have never had a conversation with the doctor about elevated liver Profile. Are you taking any other drugs? If this is a possible side effect please let me know.
