Thanks Christine..I dont know if she has discussed this issue with her p-doc or not..I am also on Lexapro but like you said for me I like the delay effect, for her I am thinking not so much though..
I dont want to suggest she stop taking her meds because she is also a college student and I dont want the withdrawal to make school hard or impossible for her..and I don't want her to become depressed again b/c I know first hand how awful that is..maybe if she tried a different med that could be the answer, thanks.
Nick> Hi, I quit Lexapro 4 days ago bacause of that. Some find taking Buspar along with lexapro helps, other find Remeron to be helpful. Yet others combat that with adding some Selegilin or Wellbutrin. For me none helped except stopping taking it.

> She might need consider taking another Anti Depressant other than a SSRI like lexapro. Wellbutrin is an anti depressant that is also pro sexual. Buspar is indicated for GAD but at some higher doses (40-60 mg a day) can help depression. Buspar acts on serotonin, the same chemical that Lexapro affects.
