Comment:
I lost all interest in sex with my spouse. My Dr. gave me testosterone but it did not help. Without the Lexapro I was unable to control my emotions. While on Lexapro I had no interest in sex and ultimately my marriage fell apart.

Comment:
It made me really sick to my stomach, made me sleep all the time, I had muscle cramps, a worse period and it actually worsened my depression. I think I'm just a quirk though because most people I know where just fine on it.
