When you stop taking lexapro will your sex drive come back?
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!
Why have I gained weight on Lexapro?
While some people gain weight after starting an antidepressant, the antidepressant isn't always a direct cause. There are many factors that can work together to contribute to weight gain during antidepressant therapy. For example:
- Overeating as a result of depression can cause weight gain.
- Some people lose weight as part of their depression. In turn, an improved appetite associated with improved mood may result in increased weight.
- Adults generally tend to gain weight each year, regardless of the medications they take. Getting regular exercise and watching what you eat will help you maintain a healthy weight whether you take an antidepressant or not.
If you gain weight after starting an antidepressant, discuss your concerns with your doctor. If your antidepressant seems to be the culprit, it may help to adjust the dose or switch medications.
Can Lexapro be taken long term?
My best friend is a doctor, and says yes, it can be taken indefinitely. However, I have been taking 20mg for four years now, and don't know how advisable it would be to take it forever. I tried tapering off it two years ago with really ugly effects, and had to begin taking it again just to function. I now feel that it is no longer working as it once did, and frankly my life has evolved to a point where I no longer feel I need it. I am going to make the informed choice to withdraw from it entirely this year, but first will seek the guidance of a psychiatrist who is sensitive to the withdrawal of this specific drug. Most G.P.'s and internists frankly are not.
What will happen if you take a Lexapro 20 mg?

Does Vitamin D help depression?
Anything that helps your help is good. There are no vitamins or food which will cure depression, but getting enough Vitamin D is important for absorbing calcium for healthy bones. When you're depressed, you don't take care of yourself, and taking a good multi-vitamin will help with that. Don't take more Vitamin D than recommended - and remember it is usually found in milk also.
