My experience was very similar to DL. I actually had increased desire when I started on Lexapro at 10mg. Was surprised to find myself even thinking about sex once-in-awhile after NOTHING for years on all the other stuff.
However, when I went up to 20mg, it was the same 'ole familiar story. Sex, what's that? Why do people want do that? Orgasm?!-fuhgetaboutit. I started to loose a lot of hair, too. But if you're not interested in getting laid anymore, who needs hair?
Seriously, I'm forturnate that my husband is well educated on ADs and takes none of this personally. He also is very sweet "not to notice" my weight gains, aging, etc.
I'm now off all ADs and things are starting to "wake up." I'll probably crash, depression wise, if history does indeed repeat itself. I'm holding out all hope on fish oils! (Hey, a girl can dream, right?)
However, I don't think it will ever be like it was (sex, that is). But who/what has/was? I used to look a lot better, too. What the hay.
