I'm not totally sold on this Lexapro yet. I'm still tired-- it started a few days after first taking it-- (three weeks ago)-- but-- I don't think I'm as tired as at the beginning, so maybe it's improving-- just don't like being tired.
About the sexual side effects--- it's kind of hard to tell for me-- I've been struggling on with husband's drinking -- haven't felt too sexual for quite a while... so, it's hard to tell for me. It does seem that it's becoming increasingly more difficult to "O". (eeks-- did I just divulge that!) which concerns me, as I sure don't want what few good things I have to be taken away........I was on Celexa a few years ago-- the psych-doc said this Lexapro is it's "cousin".... so I figured they would act similar. I didn't feel tired with Celexa though-- just gained too much weight for my liking...... so I wanted to try something diferent.
guess I'll give it more time and see........
good luck to you with it! keep us posted- K!fl.flutterby(mandy)
