I used to have amazing orgasms (when I wasn't taking an SSRI). It took me no time, no fantasy was required, just intense, brilliant, full-body, muscle contracting long lasting orgasms (with or without a partner). When I started taking Lexapro, that stopped. I wasn't concerned as that was usually the case on SSRI's, and I knew it would go back to normal after I stopped taking it. It's been over a year now since I stopped taking Lexapro and I still can't have an orgasm. Nothing. I have a libido, sexual stimulation, but NO orgasm. I keep thinking I'm crazy, that it can't really be true, so I try, and try, and try. Nothing. I keep hoping that maybe it's just going to take a while, and it will gradually return to normal, but it's not. There isn't even a glimmer of anything resembling an orgasm. If there was one thing I could undue in my life, it would be this. My sex life is forever changed. I NEVER would have taken this drug if I knew that the potential for permanent sexual side effects existed. I think that this is criminally unfair. I can't believe the kind of sex life I used to have is just quickly becoming a distant memory instead of an ongoing and beautiful part of my current life and future. Devastating doesn't come close to describing how I feel. I WOULD DISCOURAGE ANYONE FROM TAKING LEXAPRO!

∙ 16y agoI have taken Lexpro 20mg for a long time now. I was completely uninterested in sex or other activities. I have weaned off of the Lexapro and although I am experiencing horrible withdrawl symptoms, I immediately noticed the return of a healthy sex drive.

Can Lexapro tablets be taken if broken in half?
I have been on Lexapro for about a month now. My weight is ballooning. I want to come off of it before the withdrawal get to bad. Does the time you are on lexapro coincide with the amount of withdrawl problems? The problem is, I feel great taking the lexapro, but, can't handle the side effect
You are considering taking Paxil or zoloft for anxiety which is better?
I have not tried Paxil but I know from experience with Lexapro, is that it works very well. Trying to come off of it is the challenge. I got extreme dizziness and nausea. Although, that lasted a few weeks then it surpassed and I'm back to normal. Lexapro worked great for me and I strongly recomment it.
What happens if you completely stop taking Lexapro overnight?
I wouldn't do that if I were you. You need to wean yourself off of Lexapro slowly and even then you are going to get some withdrawl symptoms, including dizziness and nausea. That's what happened to me when I went off Lexapro over a two week period. From what I understand the withdrawl can sometimes be worse than what I had. I would consult with your doctor and come up with a plan for you to get off. If you need to go back on something I would stay away from Lexapro - I have been on several antidepressants and that was the worse one to stop!
If you have missed 4 doses of Lexapro--should you just start taking them again or quit?
You should take your next dose as soon as possible. If you have been on Lexapro for a long period of time then the withdrawl effects can be unpleasant, as in causeing anxiety and/or depression in a way worse than before. If you do not like lexapro you should notify your doctor and come off of it slowly.

What is this swishing noise when you turn your head and vertigo when you stpped taking lexapro?
I think what you're describing is a "brain zap" which is an electric shock dizzy sensation. It's a common withdrawal symptom from discontinuing antidepressants. Best of luck getting off these drugs--I'm trying to come off Lexapro myself in order to save money.
