Has anyone had experience with viagra helping the sexual side effects of Lexapro? I am female and I am thinking about giving it a try. Anyone with experience with this or any other ssri and viagra is deeply appreciated.

I'm male, but my experience with using Viagra to treat SSRI side-effects is that it helps with arousal more than anything else. I also find it increases desire slightly, but that may be an indirect effect of things working properly :) I think it's more than that, though. In my experience, it does nothing for delayed orgasm, etc. Depending on the problem, it's worth a shot.
Good Luck,
Jon :)p.s. How long have you been on Lexapro? I've only been on it about three weeks at 10mg, and the sex side-effects have decreased somewhat. Hope that continues!

I've been on Lexapro for about a 1-1/2 months. The sexual side effect is just awful. It's like that part of my body doesn't work at all in this regard. I've never experienced anything like this.
