Guest guest Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 Do you take that along with the Lexapro? I had the same problem, but my doctor just added Wellbutrin and that solved that problem right away. Thanks, Sandi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 Hi , I also am annoyed with the hold on having an " explosive " orgasmic moment! It actually disturbs me very much, and my partner as well. I must say, since I have started lexapro I have noticed a HUGE increase in my desire. I haven't been able to " stay " interested or physically " display " my interest because of depression. But I must confess I am very frustrated not being able to climax when I want to! My doctor also recommended taking a combination of wellbutrin, like Sandi's doctor. I also have headaches from the lexapro & wasn't sure if that was normal b/c I went to the doctor for tension headaches before. I feel better being on the lexapro and really like waking up with some excitement about my day! But I am also a little upset about the climax problem! xo Kim --- Tuccinardi <blackrose@...> wrote: > First off, I do not want to offend anyone, so just > so you know, this is about sexual content.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 Hi , Yes I have the same sides. My P-Doc here in Hawaii. Got a P-doc in Texas to prescribe Viagra for me. And that works wonders. I go to a military provider though my P-doc is civilian. They wouldn't approve it for me here, but he did the research and knew it would work with women. I had it sent to me via mail from another Military pharmacy.....I find that when I am in the mood taking it 10-30 min before will give you your old self back. I guess I am lucky I have the Dr. I have. That was a big concern of mine, not being able to orgasm, or me turning down my hubbies advances because I knew the outcome. Ask your P-doc about it.....It worked for me...There is also a new thing on the market called Avlimil(I might have spelled it wrong) OTC, that is supposed to work. Let me know if you find something that works.... p.s. My dr. also suggested stopping the Lex for a day before you want to get sexual....However, a womans mood changes with the wind, at least for me. I didn't want to time went I wanted to be intimate. I wanted to be spontaneous...... Jacquie Sexual Side Effect First off, I do not want to offend anyone, so just so you know, this is about sexual content. If it will offend you, please stop reading this email. The only, most annoying, side effect that I've expierenced since being on Lexapro is not being able to orgasm (and possibly headaches, but I started having bad headaches before being out on Lexapro and maybe tiredness). Everything else having to do with sex - wanting it, having it - is normal. I can get all the way to the point, but not " explode " , so to speak. Do any women here have this problem, too? Will it go away? I truly hope that I didn't offend anyone. It's just that this side effect sucks and I want to know if other women are having this problem, too.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 I wish I could have taken Wellbutrin for the sides. At one time, I was taking it instead of Lex and I broke out in a severe rash from it. It was deemed that I was allergic to it....

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 HI I am glad you brought that up I am in my 4th week on 10mgs of Lexapro. And the ONLY side affect besides headaches I can account for is the sexual one. My first attempt brought me to the edge with going over the top if you know what I mean and I had to stop Ithought I was going to have a heart attack, and the next time forget it NOTHING, total numbness.. I hope there is an answer for this this because everything has gotten better I certainly don't need this.. my sex life has always been so healthy and hubby doesn't like me unsatisfied. any feedback would be great Treasa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 21, 2003 Report Share Posted October 21, 2003 --Sandy I too a snoop at your photo you look great. Not such a bad side affect unless it gets out of control.. My mom was taking effexor and she got down to 92lbs, so she is OFF that now. My sister in law though took Paxil and gained almost 30. It is a strange thing Treasa] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 : Well, you did ask for women to respond...but I did want to mention that as a male, I have had the same problem with luvox, celexa, prozac, zoloft...these drugs make it very difficult to climax. Wellbutrin and viagra had been recommended as add ons but didn't seem to do anything. Hopefully the drugmakers will come out with some mediciations that eliminate these side effects and at that point I'll sign right up....
