I take 30 mg Lexapro each morning. I don't have sexual side effects if 24 hours have gone by since my last dose. So if I have sex in the morning, I take Lexapro after that.
> I'm beginning my fourth week of Lexapro and I'm really starting to feel like my old self again. However, I'm also starting to experience a noticable dip in my libido.
> While I am grateful for the relief from depression, my decrease in sex drive has arrived at a very inconvenient time. I'm planning a very romantic weekend in two weeks and don't want this to spoil it.
> I've read that adding low dose naltrexone or bupronion (sp?) can help in this department. I'm female, 35 years old.
> Can anyone share experiences with taking meds that have helped? If so, can you tell me about the side effects you've experienced?
> TIA...
