I don't know how long you've been on Lex, but I've been at 10mg for about 3 weeks now, and I'm happy to report that the sex side-effects have significantly diminished. I've never experienced that with any other med before. I hope that turns out to be the case for you as well. When the sex side-effects were at their worst, I tried Muira Puama (I used a tincture by Raintree) and found it very helpful with arousal and delayed orgasm in particular. I tried other herbal remedies for this problem to no avail, but was quite impressed with Muira Puama. Unfortunately, the product made me depressed after a couple of days so I discontinued it. I got lucky (It's about time!)as things seem to have worked themselves out for the most part. Anyway, might want to give Muira Puama a try. It's very safe, and you might be able to get away with using it on an as needed basis. I felt it had a greater effect after a few days of continuous use, though. If you do try it, I highly recommend the Raintree tincture. Just a thought...
Good Luck,
Jon :)
