I can relate.........My sex drive is pretty much non-existent.

When you have to " work " yourself up to try to get in the mood , it is

not fun. It becomes a chore and your significant other suffers. I

know there are drugs to help........Anyone on those and did they help?

I just started taking Lexapro last week. So far I haven't had to

opportunity to check out " that " side effect. I know I've had it on

other drugs I've been on. I just came off Effexor. My problem was

never lack of desire, it was the inability to reach orgasm. My doctor

prescribed Ritalin taken one hour before sex. It worked with the

Effexor, but I don't know if it will work with the Lexapro or not.
