From the Lexapro website: "Lexapro is well tolerated by most people. The most commonly reported side effects of Lexapro are nausea, insomnia, problems with ejaculation, somnolence, increased sweating, fatigue, decreased libido, and anorgasmia. Most of the side effects experienced by patients taking Lexapro are mild to moderate and go away with continued treatment, and usually do not cause patients to stop taking Lexapro."

Did you experience a decreased libido? If so, how much did it drop and did it come back as you continued on the drug. I know this is pretty hard to measure. My wife says it has killed hers and we have basically stopped. Seems kind of extreme but possible I guess.
Thank you all for your feedback. Great personal stories and you really helped me more than you know.

I almost awarded best to destinishadow1 for pointing out the poetic nature of my question. LOL

Jess: Thanks for sharing. I think as long as your happy then don’t worry about it all. I think your one of the few who would call this side effect "interesting" LOL

Country Mom: At least your friend was doing the job :-) j/k I don’t really want my wife to do it if it were a job or chore because I can take a good guess at how awkard that probably is.

stephsteph320: Please email me with whatever tricks you do to keep it "regular" WOW!

kelly: Nice Save! I don’t know why men take this stuff personal. Fortunatly, I take Adderall for ADHD so I KNOW about effects and side effects but there was still this, "its because of my small…" is why she isn’t. Stupid male brain! :-)

Meg: Lucky You! How good was your libido before you got on the meds :-) Everyone’s biochemistry different.
Dennis B: Congratulations. You have made sure I’ll never take Lexapro (LOL).
