I was put on a series of medications in my early teens and I've been in the process of withdrawing from them. One in particular is wreaking havoc on my sex life and I. Lexapro.

About six to nine days after withdrawal my system goes insane. I get frequent brain zaps and lethargy and the anxiety is extreme...but forget that for now.

The sexual side effects are overwhelmingly intolerable. It starts with a lack of desire and completely pleasureless orgasm and over a few days proceeds to a point where I'm supersensitive. Holding an erection can become painful and climax is reached within a minute or two if I attempt anything sexual - again to a pleasureless end.

Half-Lifeing the drug out of my system heeds no better results and having my body addicted to this drug for the rest of my life seems unbearable but...if that's what it takes to keep a healthy and satisfying sex life free of brain-zaps and lethargy...bring it on the antidepressants.
