Hey Guys,
I have recently been put on 5 mg Lexapro for anxiety. This was about 2 weeks ago. I must say it helps with the racing mind but it reduces my libido and I have trouble maintaining an erection and ejaculating when I do. I have had this same problem with both Cymbalta and Zoloft. Any insight would be appreciated.

Re: Lexapro and sexual side effects
Lexapro is usually given at 20mg+ for anxiety, and I've heard of people on 30mg (rare).
If you have libido problems with SSRIs, keep trying different ones. If they all affect you that way, go for a different form of anxiety med. (if libido is important to you).

Good News! The great ProstaQ is BACK at last! You must try it.

Thanks web, libido is important to me. That's why the low dose. Will see how it goes.
