First off I am new so thanks Dr Bob for the site. I have been on Lex for just over 6 weeks. RX for depression from a failing marriage and the sudden realization of the loss of love from my wife. The depression came with loss of sleep, weigh and focus. The Lex does appear to have stopped the deep anxiety and the depression drops but the side effects are uncomfortable to say the least. I have had a rather high libido forever it seems. The libido is lessened, however does it eventually go away? A platonic marriage and the denial of any affection is making this more difficult than I ever could have imagined. I hope for a drop in desire completely and have heard this is possible with Lex. I am on 10 mg per day. Is the dosage too low to omit the libido? Also will the shaking become worse with a higher dose? Anyone else ever hoped for a reduction in libido using this type of drug? Also seem to be tense with Lex. No longer deep depression but tense. Is this a result of whats happening in my life with my wife or a side effect?
