Well, I'm not on Lexapro, still on Celexa. I had sexual problems when I started Celexa and he told me that pindolol offsets the sexual side effects of celexa by reversing those effects in that part of the brain that celexa affects. Like I said before, he said it doesn't help desire, (maybe that's just another issue, not the meds, ha ha!) but it will with response and it really does. He gave me a script and told me to take 1 to 5 pills a day to see what amount works for me. They're cheap, I get the generic, and they are 5mg. I'm taking 2 a day and haven't noticed any side effects from them. 2 seems to work but sometimes I still have problems but it may be psychological. He wrote my new script out for 3 a day if I want to try to go up but I think I'll stay at 2 for now. I've never seen this option as a solution on this board but it's been a great help. I'm assuming it would work with Lexapro, also. Good Luck! Teri
