In reply to Anyone switched to Lexapro? « ggrrl, posted by Dr. Bob on June 11, 2002, at 7:52:48
I've been using Leaxapro about 2 weeks now. I've noticed some decrease in libido and also extreme difficuly with ejaculation. This is my first experience with an AD. My depression is at most moderate. I am considering stopping the drug. In other people's experience do the sexual side effects tend to pass over time? If so, over how long a period of time? How long should I "hang in there" while waiting for improvement? William

Well I think my scale was on the fritz, or I didn't read it right, but I only gained 5 pounds not 8. Anyway I am still upset about it and have decided to not buy any of that bad carb stuff, so if it's not around I won't be tempted to eat any more.
Thanks Jim for all your input, and good luck to us all!

In general, the side effects do go away in time.
However, I have seen many posts about Wellbutrin and how it has helped with this particular SE.

In reply to Luziluna thanks you all... I'm better now..., posted by Luziluna on May 5, 2003, at 17:36:11
hi luziluna!
> Thanks for all who posted follow ups to my panic-stricken posting about gaining weight on lexapro. I realize now that I am also about to get my period and I always feel fat and get a little more obsessive during that time....Although I must say, the lexapro has helped a lot with that PMS exacerbation thing too!!!
>reads to me, with 2 notable period-related exceptions, that the answer to the question,
"Is everyone gaining weight on the Lexapro?", is no.in fact, if the question was 'Is Anyone gaining weight on lexapro?', our little survey would have answered with the same 'no'.... (as in, *Nobody is gaining weight on lex!*) ..... right?
all of which should provide some comfort for our weight conscious folks, anyway. (?)
so.... Yeah! for Lexapro!.... maybe?
> Jim, I love your postings- you sound like a pretty cool dude, I must say!!
Thank you!! .... you have made me blush .... i have not meant to deceive you, but i am not even "pretty cool" once you get to know me .... ask my wife or our 4 year-old, especially our 4 yr-old! ... he'll tell you i am his "silly dad!" .... truth-in-posting sanctions insist we change "cool" to 'silly' for greater accuracy.
most flattering is your expression of appreciation of my posts ..... because i really try to write gentle, helpful messages for our board here .... Because i have received So much help, benefit, support, encouragement and strength from all of our posters here, so i try to make my own positive contributions ... i try .... so, Thank you, again!
>While I don't suffer from the constipation thing, I will remember the metamucil cure-all !! LOL!
>we may pray you may never need the remedy .... i have just reached an age where things like "soluble fiber" have become regular supplements.
> So, I haven't gained any weight on Lexapro after a month and have actually noticed a decrease in appetite so, I don't expect I'll gain weight unless I change my eating habits or stop exercising as much....so I'm just going to calm my little 'ol self down and say "adieu" for now...and thanks again to you all out there!!
and this is the part i enjoyed the most...... because you sound like you have reconciled your concerns and .... you are happy!(?) ... i hope! ...(i appreciate this opportunity to reply too).
i always enjoy your posts .... please keep in touch!
TAKE CARE !!!!

> Funny thing is that this is my 3rd period since starting Lex, and I didn't have the same problem for the other 2, in fact I generally ate less, and felt full. That's probably how I lost the weight in the first place.hi there okpolosi,
water retention!..... okay, that i can understand .... i can drink 8 pounds of water in a weekend .... make that, i SHOULD drink 8 pounds of water in a weekend (!), since a gallon weighs about 6 pounds.... and these days it seems we are supposed to drink lots and lots of water.
a point i wanted to make (and i don't think i did) is that science is just recently discovering the therapeutic benefits of some specific carbohydrates and therapies from these disoveries are now being developed.
i have extrapolated from this news that we may be subconsciously compensating our neurotranmitter imbalances by trying to use carbs on our inter-synaptic environments ..... maybe .... maybe not.
another 'nutrient' to promote is water .... i suspect that dehydration is worse for the neurotransmitters than it is for our muscles or our digestion, if only because the healthy electrolyte balance has to have a greater impact on our neurotransmitters ..... that and i tend to not drink water unless i make myself, especially when i get my lex SEs.
enough about me.... how are you doing?
take care !!

I just switch to Lexapro from Celexa. I was on 40 mg of Celexa and I went to 10 mg of Lexapro. How long do you figure it will take to see a difference? And what differences have you felt?

Hi Jim,
Awww! See, you really are cool, despite what your little guy says!! "Silly", "Cool"....all the same to a 4 y.o I'd say!! Thanks for your nice posting...
Yes, I am much happier, it gets better each day with the Lexapro and, barring any sudden poundage, I think it's working!! My kids and husband say I'm much happier, seem more relaxed, so I think that's probably the most objective proof for me!
Thanks again, keep being silly, we need more of that in the world....!!

You are such a fun and fine bunch of people and I so much enjoy coming to this board. I do not post much as often the energy is not there, but I have to say too, that it has been soooo gooood to watch people like Wayne (blkvettes) and L'il Jimi and Luzaluna and the rest get good results from the Lexapro. Even those who have not been as fortunate have come away better informed about their options and have been supported through the SE's.
Keep up the good work.

Hi, its very hard to pass up free rent no matter where it is. The beach is the most beautiful place on earth to me. At night when it is quiet, the waves crashing on the shore. The stars are so bright!!!!! Its not to bad in the daytime either!!!!!!
