Lexapro and side effects

[ImNotNuts]

All-

Well, the sjw is working, just not well enough, so I'm going to try Lexapro.

With regard to the sexual side effects, can anyone share when they will be noticeable? Do they express themselves immediatlely, or will I have to wait a month or so?

Thanks,

I took lexapro for about 8 months. The sexual side effects were apparent shortly after taking the medication, and I think that when I took only 10mg they were noticeable in the beginning, and then after your body gets used to the medication, they didn't seem to bother me as much, or I just got used to them. When I took 20mg, I noticed more them more so, and when my body became used to that dosage, it still seemed liked the side effects were worse than when I took a lighter dosage.

I only took lexapro for 3weeks - between trying EffexorCR and going back on Paxil - which im trying to wean off of now -
I took 20mg for the 3wks and the sexual side affects simply got worse by the day until it was impossible to have an orgasim. I didnt need any other side affects to make a change - but i also couldnt stop eating or going to the bathroom - crazy stuff!
